Trouble installing ALSA driver

[0106mas]

Im trying to install realtek high definition audio driver but have some problems and the sound is completely gone now. My OS is Linuxmint17 64 bit.Commands I run:

Code: Select all

cd /home/marcell/Downloads
tar jxpvf LinuxPkg_5.18rc8.tar.bz2
cd /home/marcell/Downloads/Rt-Linux-HDaudio-5.18
tar jxpvf alsa-driver-RTv5.18rc8.tar.bz2
cd /home/marcell/Downloads/Rt-Linux-HDaudio-5.18/alsa-driver-RTv5.18/alsa
./configure
make
make install

then i get this error after 'make':

Code: Select all

/home/marcell/Downloads/Rt-Linux-HDaudio-5.18/alsa-driver-RTv5.18/alsa/usb/misc/ua101.c: In function ‘ua101_disconnect’:

i tried uninstalling and then reinstalling libasound but that didnt help either. Amixer does not recognize any sound cards but the inxi -Ax script returned the following:

Card-1: Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio bus-ID: 00:1b.0
Card-2: NVIDIA GF106 High Definition Audio Controller bus-ID: 02:00.1

Initially I had sound set to default (pulseaudio) and things went mute after I tried to configure realtek. Maybe it realy is just a compiler error and not something else, then it could easily be solved by correcting a few syntax errors.The file itself can be downloaded here:

or download the whole package from:

Thanks for the help!

1. Add a function declaration preferably near the top of the file (around line 140):

   Code: Select all

   void __list_for_each(struct list_head *, struct list_head *);

2. Append a semicolon to line 1357 (I believe), so that it looks like this:

   Code: Select all

   __list_for_each(midi, &ua->midi_list);

EDIT:
After doing all this today myself (see here), I lost my audio too. Reinstalling/updating the kernel got it back for me:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -r linux-generic
