Have intel onboard sound, so how do I install Drivers?

**ChaosLord40k** · 03-07-2004

My onboard sound is an intel 865GBF, and I wanna know how do I install the drivers without having to recompile the kernel. Reason being I wanna have some sound for a variety of reasons, obviously number one is gaming. So I heard you can make it as a MODULE. How do I go on about doing this? Thanx in advance!

go into your kernel-dir (e.g. /usr/src/linux-kernelversion) and type

Code:

make menuconfig

than search for you soundchip and set this option to M (for module)
read the help for your module cuz there stands which name the module has!

after that save your config and back in konsole:

Code:

make modules modules_install

so your module is compiled. now just load it into your running kernel

Code:

modprobe  <modulename>

thats it. i hope i could help U and that it worx *g

hmm... it says its already a module? intel i8* sound support. maybe its not supported in RedHat?

Try as root (su -): modprobe i810_audio

Good luck
