Can anyone tell me which driver to install alsa with as I am struggling - also which version of alsa they're using - I am getting a bunch of messages about the mods not loading right when i start alsasound...

My lspci output is this for sound:

Code:
00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2)


Cheers

Dan

According http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Intel#matrix you shoul use Intel8x0.

Hmm - I have the intel8x0 installed and it seems to be working, but alsa is trying to install all the sound modules when it starts.

I have ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" in my make.conf, but when I start alsasound it tries to load all the modules - most not working... Why does it do that?

I couldn't get the Intel8x0 working on my nForce 590 SLI, either. Even though alsa loaded the Intel8x0 driver and alsaconf claimed that was the right driver, I never got any sound

I needed the hda-intel driver to make it work properly - which it is now doing...
