[solved] asus p5q pro turbo audio driver

Hi all. Until now I've managed to not write a single forum post for the last ~4 years. So i feel kind of new to this ^^

Anyways, I recently bought myself a new motherboard, a ASUS P5Q PRO TURBO with onboard audio. Since the audio didn't "just work" after I installed Arch I've downloaded and tried to install "LinuxDrivers.zip" from ASUS.

Lspci tells me this about my soundcard:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller

So, now to the point. Compiling the audio driver from ASUS fails.

This is how far I manage to go:
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
make

And then i fails on make with this:

/root/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3/alsa-driver-1.0.18a/acore/info.c: In function 'snd_info_entry_prepare':
/root/Audio/via-linux-audiopackV1.9RC3/alsa-driver-1.0.18a/acore/info.c:161: error: 'struct proc_dir_entry' has no member named 'owner'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.30-ARCH'
make: *** [compile] Error 2

I've tried to comment out the two assignments to the "non existing struct member" and then the shit compiles and can be installed... However that's how you create broken drivers (i wasn't lucky on that one).

So now after praying to google and not being able to help myself i turn to you guys. Maybe there is someone that have had some experience with the same Motherboard / Audio Card?

Re: [solved] asus p5q pro turbo audio driver

Have you installed the card correctly? Have you selected hda-intel with alsaconf? What is the output of

head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*

?

Thanks! Problem solved. Wasn't familiar with "alsaconf", but it did the work!

The codec is correct as well.
