I try installing the .sh file but i keep getting this error:

Detected exact codec : 808626688086e402
Target system must have kernel source 2.6.8-24 install

And i do have that kernel installed, what gives?

You need to install the source code for your
current kernel in order to compile certain
applications. You should be able to find
the required packages on one of your
installation CDs, the packages you want to
install will be called somthing like
kernel-source-2.6.8-24.rpm and
kernel-headers-2.6.8-24.rpm. Install those
(rpm
-ivh /mnt/cdrom/path/to/kernel-source-2.6.8-24.rpm)
and then try to recompile your driver.

You might be able to use a intel8x0 sound
module which you might already have on your
computer. Try the following command as root:
# modprobe snd-intel8x0
Now see if it has loaded with:
$ /sbin/lsmod
If it has, increase your sound levels (they
default to 0 by default) and then try
playing some sounds.
