I am not exactly sure what the problem is, but one thing I know for sure - It's a *bad* idea to name your files and directories with a whitespace in the middle.
Try using only alphanumeric characters and replace each whitespace with '-' or '_'.
I know most Linux filesystems know how to handle most characters, but some programs have trouble with them.

There are no white space in betwwen file & dir .Problem what iam facing is whenever after booting iam incresing or decreasing the volume control ,sound get stops .Even headphone also does not support.SO i tried to install alsa drivers but noe iam facing this error after giving make command .

First, How do you try to change the volume. what software do you use? Try another if you haven't already...
Second, if you are using KDE, try:
In "KDE Control Center" "Sound & Multimedia"->"Sound System" go to the Hardware tab and make sure you have all the right settings.

Also, about my first reply, I just thought that the "alsa driver" is a directory and that make is trying to find the target "driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15/Rules.make" when it actually needs to search for a target called "alsa driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15/Rules.make". I don't know if make can do that.

Thank for replying
As per your saying i went KDE Control Center "Sound & video",where i find only Sound juice CD extracator option exist .Is this because of that only .If yes then in Gnome i can figure out sound system settings. But still i have i can not figure out sound properly

"Sound & video"?? I'll assume you meant "Sound & Multimedia".

I'm pretty sure there must be a Sound System configuration option.

And sorry, but you completely lost me with the last sentence. What do have?

I meant in GNOME Sound System configuration option exist.But in KDE iam not able to find sound system configuration
