msconfig is a Microsoft program for Windows 98, not Linux. No wonder it won't work;
If you try sndconfig and get this:
Code:
bash: sndconfig: command not found
That means that it isn't installed yet.

Hi Born^Dead,
Did you use rpm -Uvh sndconfig-0.70-2.i386.rpm to install it?
Also, were you the root user when you did that? The root user is like the administrator in windows systems.
Hope this helps.
