it maybe a zip/bzip or plain tar or something, type...

file cmedia4.03.tar.gz

...to see what it is.

when i type file cmedia4.08.tar.gz it says GNU tar archive... how do i get the drivers installed?

tar xvzf cmedia4.03.tar.gz
cd cmedia4.03 (ah whatever directory the untar'ring creates, usually the name of the file, not necessarily)
./configure
make
make install
depmod -a

probably... best to just read the readme.

What cmedia chipset is this, usually its covered by the cmpci module. What does /sbin/lspci say about the "Multimedia device"

Cheers,

if it's a tar archive you should use...

tar xvf cmedia4.03.tar.gz

(no gunzipping)
