.tar files are like zip files, i am assuming that you have a GUI so goto a terminal and type
tar xvf package.tar
where package is the name of the file
it will make a new dir, in the name of the package,
so
cd newdir
if you want to install then, look for a file called INSTALL or README
and read it with vi or pico or emacs
the sound control is depedant on your GUI so you have to tell me which one you are using
