[Alsa-user] hda-intel problems

[James L. <bjl...@lo...>]

I have the hdmi on my motherboard connected to the digital in on my 
receiver and it works.
I was playing a DVD and then I went back to my KDE-3.5.9 desktop and my 
sound was gone. :-(
There was nothing in the system log.
I use Gentoo and the alsa driver was compiled in the kernel (2.6.24.1).
I grabbed the latest stable kernel from kernel.org and that was 2.6.25.
It only has alsa 1.0.16rc2 so I downloaded the latest alsa-drivers 
directly from alsa-project.org but I get a compile error:

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.25/source SUBDIRS=/root/alsa-driver-1.0.16  
CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25'
