Intel 915 Motherboard and sound

[Deboo ^]

How to make Intel 915 boards inbuild sound card work with Fedora? Does 
compiling the latest kernel support this board? These boards seem to have 
some Realtek sound chipset. I searched the net and someone said I just need 
alsa and no need to recompile the kernel. But alsa sources readme says that 
in order to install alsa, I need the kernel sources. What do I need to do?

Is there any other way to make sound work on 915 boards?

Regards,
Deboo

my i915 attached sounds was supported by fc4 out of the box.

/etc/modprobe.conf has:

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/
modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

lspci has:

00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 
82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)

and this is the chipset:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express 
Processor to DRAM Controller (rev 03)

I am using FC3. Also it's a 915 GLVGL board and system-config-sound doesn't 
detect it. I guess updating the kernel would be the easier option?

My lspci output:

Seems the sound chip is not listed in the above list. I'm compiling the new
2.6.13.2 http://2.6.13.2 kernel. Would it support the Realtek High
Definition Audio chip on the 915 motherboard? It's not possible for me to
get FC4.
