Asking a new question for Do I need any extra drivers for the Realtek waves maxx audio on my Dell XPS 17?
The solution posted here no longer works for the latest linux kernels (i have 3.16). Does anybody know if it is possible to install the audio drivers?
I am adding the lines from where 'make' command fails.
