Try just "make" then "sudo make install".

Also, I didn't see anything on any of the wiki pages indicating that a 
driver newer than what's in the most recent kernel is needed to get 
audio working.  Are you sure you need to build the very latest drivers 
(which may not be any newer than what's in 2.6.35)?

If I recall from one of your other threads, you were having an audio 
output problem, you were getting audio out of the analog stereo jacks on 
the back of the computer, but nothing over HDMI.  Is that correct?
