i have gotten a little further this morining i could get to configuration part after installing an alsa kernel for slackware.
from this site
http://www.audioslack.com/ and afterwards i could run the alsa-driver-i686.tgz file and it would run configuation but but then it would say couldnt find the driver would i like to install a generic one.
then warned it could make my system unstable i opted out as i like this install it is the most stable ive had and i ve from forcing my winmodem to install with old drivers so i tried to install alsa-lib-i686.tgz and it seemed to run configuration again and detected it correctly after this it asked if i would like to write it to modules.conf and it ran some error after that and froze somthing like this
this is not from this morning so i cant besure it looks the same though

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

this was from this afternnon after trying agian exept now i cant get any configuration scripts happening again i had to install a version of an alsa kernel from this site that i posted above in oder to install and rune the alsa drivers.
to be honest i havent the faintist idea what iam doing i know there are four files i must install but which ones do i need to install first the only reason i am doing this is because i am unable to get my sound to work i checked which drivers were supported by slackware in one of the files i cant remember the slackware site recommended this location and the closet it could come up with is cs4232 and my card is a cs4235 audio codec.
although i like the idea of the advanced sound architechture and the above site seems promising with its concepts.
posted below is the full attempt to run the alsa-driver-0.9.6-i686-1.tgz insatll again

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
alsa-driver: The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and
alsa-driver: MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system. ALSA has the
alsa-driver: following significant features:
alsa-driver:
alsa-driver: * Efficient support for all types of audio interfaces, from
alsa-driver: consumer soundcards to professional multichannel audio interfaces.
alsa-driver: * Fully modularized sound drivers.
alsa-driver: * SMP and thread-safe design.
alsa-driver: * User space library (alsa-lib) to simplify application programming
alsa-driver: and provide higher level functionality.
alsa-driver: * Support for the older OSS API, providing binary compatibility for
alsa-driver: most OSS programs.

i have a back up of my original kernel so it wont be hard to go back if someone can suggest to me what steps to take to start from scratch or to recompile my kernel.
im also having problems installing other packages
could it be my new kernel does not match my usr/linux/src now?
