    ALSA driver for Intel ICH8 audio device: NO SOUND!?!

    Hi
    I installed 'Gutsy Gibbon' Kubuntu - first time I install Linux. The vendor of my laptop (Zepto) say my sound will work if I update the ALSA driver. So I updated to 1.0.15 following their instructions.
    Not a sound.
    I studied the Soundtroubleshooting page at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting and the troubleshooting page at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting.
    The KDE Info Center tells me I now have ALSA v1.0.15 emulation.
    KMix is empty.
    alsamixer returns 'function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device'.
    aplay –l says ’no soundcards found’ (it did find it with the 1.0.14 driver installed).
    lspci –v does report the 82801H IHC8 audio controller.
    Then I try to load the driver module 'manually':
    amanda@amanda-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
    FATAL: Error inserting snd_hda_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

    dmesg does report some 40-50 lines of errors relating to snd_hda_intel, either 'unknown symbol snd_.....' or 'disagrees about version of symbol snd_....'.

    How could this happen and what can I do about it?

    The compilation seems to go wrong, maybe because of a missing header file. Still need help, but I'll ask it in the installation forum.... Hang on!
