Native Instruments - Audio Kontrol 1 - snd_usb_caiaq module

Native Instruments - Audio Kontrol 1 - snd_usb_caiaq module

[Alex Pintilie]

Hallo!

I just registered to this mailing list because a developer kindly 
advised me to do so. I own the external sound card Audio Kontrol 1 from 
Native Instruments and I was happy to find that drivers for it are 
already in the making.

I downloaded alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4 and compiled successfully with 
./hgcompile, then I installed the module with:

# install -m 644 snd-usb-caiaq.ko /lib/modules/`uname 
-r`/kernel/drivers/snd-usb-caiaq.ko

# /sbin/depmod -a

After the command:

# modprobe snd-usb-caiaq

I get the following error:

FATAL: Error inserting snd_usb_caiaq 
(/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-lowlatency/kernel/drivers/snd-usb-caiaq.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg shows the following:

This may not look like much but it's the effort from a couple of days 
searching, reading and testing. I hope you can help me.

You are trying to use a new version of the snd-usb-caiaq module with
some older version of the other sound modules.

Install all new modules ("make install-modules"), then unload and reload
all snd* modules (or reboot).

Right.  In many cases, "stop" via alsasound init script doesn't unload
the all snd-* modules but keeps some of them.  Thus, after upgrading
the alsa drivers, "rcalsasound restart" doesn't suffice (often).

Thanks. After compiling I ran "make install-modules". I found some 
strange behaviour when executing:

# make install-modules

First output line is:

rm -f /lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1/misc/snd*.*o 
/lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1/misc/persist.o 
/lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1/misc/isapnp.o

Then "make" continues to work with /lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1/ as 
destination directory. The problem is, I don't know where this directory 
comes from, I never saw it before nor did I install any packages with 
that number. My installed kernels are 2.6.20-16-generic  
2.6.20-16-lowlatency.

alex@****:/lib/modules$ ls
2.6.20-16-generic  2.6.20-16-lowlatency  2.6.20.3-ubuntu1 (<- ?)

The configure scripts checks the following directories to find the
kernel source:
1) the directory specified with --with-kernel=...
2) /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
3) /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
4) /usr/src/linux

What is the output of "uname -r"?

uname -r will output the version of the running kernel.  The directory
is created when you install a kernel and it's modules, whether it's a
pre-compiled package or a custom kernel you build from source.
