alsa driver installation problem in ubuntu 11.10

[newera]

hello friends,
i'm a newbie in linux.. i have installed ubuntu 11.10 a week ago and having no audio. my motherboard is biostar g41d3+ and uses intel hda sound (ich7 ver1). there are no other sound cards, only on-board audio. the sound settings show 'dummy stereo' in the output tab. i've downloaded latest alsa drivers from http://www.alsa-project.org (alsa 1.0.25) and followed the instructions in http://www.alsa-project.org/main/ind...dule-hda-intel.

im stuck here when installing driver
sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install

the terminal shows

checking...

here are the last lines

config.status: include/autoconf-extra.h is unchanged

Please don't double-post.
Merged.

[newera]

sorry.. i wanted that thread in ubuntu. its happened when i tried to post in a new location.
please help me out ... do you have any solution sir..

[ben91]

why shouldn't he double post if simply nobody gives a da*n about his problem...so much for the "humanity" in the word ubuntu...

[mörgæs]

Because double-posting buries other questions (leading to even bigger urge to double-post) and because we in general don't like the 'me first' attitude.

If you want to suggest double-posting being allowed you should open a thread in Forum Feedback & Help. Or, maybe even better, you could answer original poster.

If a question does not get enough attention this guide is worth reading.
