Hi,

This is my first install on this machine ( long story - the cd died in my I7000 mid install so I have put 8 on my wife's machine - end of windows foe her ) to do a network install. Have just had a look at osund and the problem I get is ::

"Failure to install the kernel module snd-nm256"

A quick squint at var/log/messages suggested a few things to try all of which fail with errors about unresolved symbols in smd256.o - which to my limited ( very very limited ) understanding ?? suggests a mug in that module.

Hope we get this sorted

Sorry not to be of more help.

Cheers

Hi, Thanks for answering. I have had the same experience. I have heard from a few people that the Alsa driver don't work with this sound card. Some have had success with the older oss drivers. I have heard that the best solution is the proprietary drivers from opensound.com, but I tried to install them with 8.0 and got the message that the drivers were not compatible with that kernel. Anyway, I will let you know if I find a solution. It seems there are a good number of people out there going around in circles over this problem. Neal
