OSS always stops working


I have a Nforce2 AC97 Audio Controller MCP and OSS works when i first boot up, i can hear out of XMMS and i can hear from UT2004 and Enemy Territory but when i got finished playing i started a download and went and played monopoly with gf and others, i was tryin to get quake 3 area demo install but everytime i run the gz.sh file it starts something then goes straight back to the command prompt with no install interface and just a "kbuildsycoca running..." message then back to command prompt and within the next second says "Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy" but anyway i came back after playing monopoly and when i go to play enemy territory it plays no sound and i test XMMS and it plays no sound and comes up with a couldn't open audio error, i don't have arts starting up with the boot or anything i don't know anything about this other than it plays i leave come back and it doesn't... i do have a screen saver running...


fedora core 1
MSI board with nforce2 chipset onboard nforce ac97 sound
geforce 2 ti agp card
realtek 8139 nic and onboard nforce nic
2000+ cpu
KDE running

any more info needed? but i have those two problems the OSS a little more important that installed q3 demo... also YES i am logged in as ROOT when im trying to run the gz.sh file...

PROBLEM 1 SOUND THEN NO SOUND FOR NO APPARENT REASON!

PROBLEM 2 Q3ADEMO gz.sh installer NOT INSTALLING "kbuildsycoca running..."

just a recap for those that didn't want to read
