RealTek AC97 sound card

[kriss]

Yes I know, I have a soundcard in the same serie, and that uses the i810_audio module. Have you tried to modprobe it?

[huh?]

Hi Kriss; nope, haven't tried modprobe yet..gotta do some more reading on the subject..hopefully, this evening I'll get a chance to modprobe i810_audio module..thanks !!

[huh?]

Hey Kriss..I got it working !! a $15.00 sound card did the trick !! won't tell you about the missing audio cable from both trays to the mobo...that's another story..thanks for the help !!

Hi,
I was follwing this thread as I was having a similar sort of problem...
My sound card works well in WinXp...But in rh9 after booting it shows
could not open /dev/sound/mixer
and subsiquently on starting the volume contorl it prompts
could not open /dev/mixer
I have tried chmod to above and also
mkdir /dev/sound/ | ln -s /dev/mixer /dev/sound/mixer

lspci shows
00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB AC'97 Audio (rev 02)

and running modprobe i810_audio
shows
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/sound/i810_audio.o: insmod i810_audio failed

could you tell me how to resolve it
TIA

HI,
I am completely new with linux.
i also have similar problem on my suse linux 10.0.
when i tried this
linux:/dev/sound # ls
. ..
it shows nothing.
when i tried this
YaST > Hardware > Sound as Intel > "82801DB-ICH4 (modem), Intel" using the snd-intel8x0 driver.
i got this error,
The kernal module snd-intel8x0 for sound support could not be loaded.this can be caused by incorrect module perameter,including invalid IO and IRQ perameters.

for lspci command i got this.
