Download the latest alsa development release (driver, library, oss, and utils) from the [http://www.alsa-project.org Alsa project] and install it:

 1. The driver: "./configure --with-oss=yes --with-cards=hda-intel", then "make", and "sudo make install".
 1. The library, oss-lib, and utils - simply "./configure" "make" "sudo make install"
 1. Run "sudo alsaconf" and configure the sound card.
 1. Reboot.

'''Note 1:''' You will need the kernel headers, gcc compiler (gcc ''and'' g++ packages), and ncurses-dev in order to compile alsa. Install them using apt-get or synaptic package manager first.

'''Note 2:''' There is a problem of [http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=141252&postcount=2 "scratchy" sound] with alsa 1.0.9rc1, 1.0.9rc2 and 1.0.9rc3.

'''Note 3:''' If alsaconf is unable to locate your card, repeat step #1 again, but without the "--with-cards option".

Alternative way to the above:

'''How to install Intel High Definition Audio using "alsa-source" from universe'''

I found the above Howto quiet unclear. Thanks to some hints from the mailinglist, I tried the way using the alsa-source-package from univers. Finally I got a deb-package, which I could install with dpkg. It worked fine on Hoary.

Here are the steps:

(The # means you should do this as root, so either use the root-console or "$ sudo su -")

# apt-get install alsa-source

# apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686

# apt-get install kernel-package ## installs make-kpkg

# apt-get install ncurses-dev ## I am not sure if this is really needed

$ less /usr/share/doc/alsa-source/README.Debian

# dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source ## choose azx as driver

# apt-get install fakeroot

# cd /usr/src

# tar jxf alsa-driver.tar.bz2

# cd linux-headers-2.6.10-5-686

# make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot --append-to-version=-5-686 modules-image

# dpkg -i alsa-modules-2.6.10-5-686_1.0.8-4ubuntu4+10.00.Custom_i386.deb
