Intel Sound Problems...Please Help!!!

[nCounTr]

Ok I tried to install it myself and i followed the how-to on the general alsa page under drivers -> hda-intel and i installed version 1.18a and i had nothing than i got frustrated and installed everytihn that layed on my hand from alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-tools, alsa-utils...infact all of the packages with alsa in them and rebooted.

On the next boot i found that there's no sound and i tried alsaconf to localize my card and it worked like a charm so now im worried about those unneeded packages...

If someone can tell me how to install the driver properly would be great...till then i suggest to install and configure the alsa-driver-1.0.18a package from the general alsa site.

Thanks for the help.
