Are there any expert who can help me to resolve this prob?

Hi Agent 007,
There are 2 ways.
1) Use ALSA drivers. If you are new to alsa try reading this :
    http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Intel&card=i820&chip=i820&module=intel8x0

2)Use a newer distro like Fedora Core 2 or Suse 9.1 which supports your board out of the box.
