Can't install my Realtek HD Audio card (on my motherboard)

XAM · 2009-12-31 21:09:58

So, I just downloaded the latest linux audio drivers for my Realtek HD Audio card, which is on my motherboard.
The problem is the installation isnt working

tar xfvj LinuxPkg_5.13rc9.tar.bz2

./install: line 102: alsaconf: command not found

The problem isnt that it can't launch alsaconf, there are some errors in the 'make' process which I can't figure out how to solve.
A little help would be great, thanks in advance!

Doesn't it work out-of-the-box? The latest kernel should have a driver for your soundcard.
