nforce network ok, sound cannot install

[andrethefrog]

Linux nForce Driver - IA32 Version: 1.0-0310
debian sarge 2.6.16
I already compile the kernel for my 2 systems and all is fine.
One system is GA-K8N51GMF9, I downloaded the above driver
the network driver does compile, install and work without problem, but the sound driver complaint about different version of kernel.
I cannot see why since they come from the same package, any idea?

Hi!

The same error on Debian linux with asus A8N-E, latest stable kernel (2.6.16.11) and latest stable 32bit nforce driver:

The nforce network adapter working properly, but the soundcard setup is exits with error, here is a picture about it:

And the installer log:

Please help us!
(the appropirate kernel source installed, and the OSS support is compiled to the kernel).

Thanks!

MOD: I tried to compile the module manual , by extracting the source, running make an make install. Ecerything is fine, but when I try to modprobe the "nvsound" module, I got this:

According to the error message, I look at the "dmesg" logs:

If anybody have an idea, please share it with us.

Thanks a lot!

looking at your first link, I do have the same error.
I did not try to compile it manually.
Tomorrow I'll try to do more testing, I let you know the result
;) worse case, I can always use my old SBlive for the time being.
May be not really clever, but still better than nothing.

Ok Try this, this should work.
It is not from me, I have found it on the web
do
NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run --extract-only
mv nvsound.txt NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310
cd NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310
patch -p0<./nvsound.txt
run nforce-installer

Here the link from where I got the info:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=67495

below is the patch

I try it as soon as possible, but I need to recompile my kernel, will be back in a hour.

MOD: Yes! With the patch I can install the audio driver too. (kernel 2.6.16.11 ). And its working. But I can only use the analog outputs, how can I setup the optical output???

Scroll down that page, there is some very good stuff.
I cannot try, because I have nothing optical to connect to
