Kubuntu Feisty Fawn intel-8x0 alsa

Sat Jun 2 11:15:46 EDT 2007

Hey everyone,

New laptop with an nvidia chipset. The sound card is the one that comes with
the 430/410 chipset. The alsa web page says that the driver is in the kernel
(specifically intel-8x0). I downloaded the latest version of alsa and
rebuilt it from scratch, but no dice. If anyone has more in dept experience
debugging this, I would sure appreciate it. Below is the output from modinfo
snd_intel_hda; amixer; and lspci. If anyone can help with this, I would be
eternally grateful.

thanks,

Kjel
