no sound

[Riga, Anthony]

I blew away the alsa folder and ran ./configure that worked. But when I do a make , make install. I get errors compiling. I also tried sndconfig and get an error that says soundcore.o was not found in the module search path. It must have been there before I upgraded to 2.6test9 because my sound worked. I do a  Do I need to compile this in the 2.6 kernel? When I donloaded the test kernel I downloaded the rpm version. When I go to /usr/src/ dir I dont see a folder with 2.6test9 just linux-2.4.  When I do a dmesg | more it shows isapnp ess es1869 plug and play audio drive. and one audo card pnp detected total. Any ideas?

Yep.  When you run 'configure', it creates a 'config.cache' file that contains
all of the values that the script generates.  Normally, configure will read
that cache file before it does anything as a starting point.  The problem is
that if the system configuration changes significantly (a kernel change is
significant :-), the cache is wrong.  Generally, I always whack the whole
directory trees from the ALSA build and recreate them from the tar files.

Cheers!
