....because windoze recognizes it as a C-Media driver, plus, I had to install C-Media's driver to get sound to work on windoze.

And I don't remember what command I used to access the alsaconf thingy.
It certainly isn't alsaconf. :embarrased:
[root@online root]# alsaconf
bash: alsaconf: command not found
[root@online root]#

If you can get the alsa configuration going again, try configuring one of the cards it finds. You could also try installing the alsa packages from source.
good luck.

You could try alsaconfig as suggested in an earlier post, or as I suggested earlier install alsa from source, or try the latest nvidia driver.
good luck.

Download the drivers from the alsa site and follow the instructions included. I use checkinstall to install packages in the event I wish to uninstall a package and install a newer package. I'd suggest you do the same, checkinstall provides for rpm, deb, or source based distro's which pretty much covers it. You can find checkinstall here.

http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/

If you don't want to use checkinstall to build an rpm, you can install from source there is a guide here.

good luck.

I don't understand how to run this program...

[root@online root]# cd Desktop
[root@online Desktop]# rpm -i checkinstall-1.5.3-1.i386.rpm
[root@online Desktop]# checkinstall

checkinstall 1.5.3, Copyright 2001 Felipe Eduardo Sanchez Diaz Duran
This software is released under the GNU GPL.


The package documentation directory ./doc-pak does not exist.
Should I create a default set of package docs? [y]: y

Preparing package documentation...OK

Installing with "make install"...

========================= Installation results ===========================

Copying documentation directory...
/var/tmp/lVVacEPOWdrmGdTgGdcX/installscript.sh: line 13: 3340 Segmentation fault mkdir -p "/usr/doc/Desktop"

**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

I found this at the faq.

http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/faq.php

Quote:
There's something wrong with your RPM installation. Check your system and see if the "rpm-build" and "spec-helper" packages are installed. Also verify that their versions match the version of the rpm binary installed in your system.
I am googling the error as I type.
good luck.

That is usually a mandrake extention. You may have downloaded the wrong rpm. What was the file you downloaded? You should have been able to get the files you needed from your install cd's.
good luck.
