If all you do is a make dep then the kernel you are running is NOT from the
kernel sources
you have installed. It MIGHT work but I personally would go through whole kernel
build and
install process then reboot. If all you do is make dep there is no need to
reboot as all that
does is setup your kernel source tree for a compile. When you build alsa it is
going to expect
a link from /lib/modules/"uname -r"/build  to the actual kernel sources of the
kernel YOU
ARE CURRENTLY running. If you don't go ahead and build/install/boot that kernel
before you
build/install alsa your looking for trouble.
