DO THIS FIRST!!!!:

Because most computers come with a Onboard sound card, and a PCI also. First give us the output of commands lspci and lsmod(must be superuser to check lsmod) please.

You must be in the same location in Console as the file... so if your Driver resides on your desktop, you need first to following commands:

# cd /home/your-username/Desktop/
# gunzip intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1.gz.sh
if it extracted a single file type
# intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1-sh
if it extracted a directory
# cd intel8x0-alsa-1.0.1-sh
# install-sh (file name)

other possibitlies:

Check your BIOS under integrated devices and make sure option Sound is [ON] (only if you dont have another PCI sound card somewhere in the computer, most of the time you do though, if you want the PCI card to work and not the onboard sound to work, turn the Sound to [OFF])
