Upgraded Kernel broke Sound!!!-(Solved)-

[b0uncyfr0]

I just upgraded kernels yesterday and went to bed. Woke up and my sound drivers are gone. Could this be a bug? It was a nvidia MPU-401. I checked Kinfocenter and it says Audio Devices: Not enabled in Config.

Solved by compiling latest alsa-driver, util and lib.

Tell me how to do this (I'm stupid)!

Re: Upgraded Kernel broke Sound!!!-(Solved)-

Go to http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download

Download : Driver (alsa-driver) , Library (alsa-lib) and Utilities (alsa-utils).

They are in tar format so just right click on any one and extract.

Then go into the extracted folder, Press F4 (that should load up Konsole) and type these after each prompt:

1) ./configure
2) make
3) sudo make install

Do these for the 3 files and thats it. PM me if you need some help.

Okay. I download the three files. Opened terminal in the extracted folder, and this is what I got:

elswood@dharma-bang:~/alsa-driver-1.0.15$ ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
elswood@dharma-bang:~/alsa-driver-1.0.15$

None of the other commands seemed to work either...help (again)!

Attach config.log, please.
