I have lost the sound in Ubuntu since 11.04. I have been trying on and off various paths, including a complete re-install. I have just bumped onto the
and am trying the first advice. I being thrown an error though:
E: Unable to locate package linux-alsa-driver-modules-3.0.0-17-generic
I guess this is because the the kernel has been upgraded recently and the package has not been yet compiled for this.
Besides, I have a Sonar STX card for which the appropriate module seems to be virtuoso which is delivered with a newer version of Alsa than the one provided with 11.10 apparently. I am trying to compile the alsa drivers but something goes wrong.
Here is what configure gives me:
Code:

checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o

cyrilgodart@cyrilgodart-Linux-Ubuntu-Maingear:/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4
And here is what make gives me
Code:
make all-deps
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-deps'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a'
Please, run the configure script as first...
Any help would be appreciated.
