Greetings. I'm trying to get sound working on my Shuttle AK31 motherboard (ac97 on-board sound). I'm running Redhat 7.2. I downloaded drivers from alsa.org & did a "make install". Now I'm stuck - the docs say to add the drivers to the /etc/modules.conf and run a modprobe. It wasn't clear to me the exact text I needed to put into the modules.conf file. What I have now is:

snd_card_intel8x0 snd_ac97_clock

but when I do a "modprobe snd_card_intel8x0" I get a "can't locate module snd_card_intel8x0". What am I doing wrong?!?

Thanks in advance.

it cant find it , do a 'whereis snd_card_intel8x0' , and use then do 'modprobe /path/to/file/snd_card_intel8x0.o' .. you will need to include the .o in this case .. then do an 'lsmod' to see if its loaded ..
