NVIDIA nforce2 distorted after driver loaded


I just reinstalled SuSE 9.0, and before I never installed a driver for the NVIDIA nforce2 sound, and it worked pretty well except for a bug where only one thing could use the soundcard at once. I installed the rpm file, and now my sound is all distorted. It sounds like something is overloading. Is there any way I could A) fix the distortion and keep the driver; or B) uninstall the rpm file

For suse its the same way you were supposed to install it to begin with. That's with Yast2's install rpm program. So if you didnt use this to install it, you should have. Use it to uninstall it now.

I didn't originally, because I don't know how to...the only way I know how to install rpms and such is through the shell...I was able to uninstall it, but how do I reinstall it? I used add or remove software, went to import, and all it wanted was a .sel file. When I told it to import the .rpm, it said there was an error

BIG PROBLEM!!! After I uninstalled the nvidia nforce2 driver from Yast, I restarted my comp, and I can't get into graphical mode. When it tries to open X server, the screen flashes 3 times, then goes back to the normal Linux prompt. How in the world do I fix this?!! I have grub, kde 3.1, and only 1 user account + root.
