Note:  you will need root access to the machine to run some/all of these 
commands!
Note:  this worked on my Redhat9 laptop

1) down load the alsa code from:
               
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.2.tar.bz2
               ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/lib/alsa-lib-1.0.2.tar.bz2
               
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/utils/alsa-utils-1.0.2.tar.bz2
               
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/oss-lib/alsa-oss-1.0.2.tar.bz2

2) unpack and build the drivers
         bunzip2 alsa-driver-1.0.2.tar.bz2
         tar -xvf alsa-driver-1.0.2.tar
         cd alsa-driver-1.0.2
         ./configure
         make
         make install
         ./snddevices

3) unpack and build the libraries, utilities, oss-compatibility stuff
         bunzip2 alsa-lib-1.0.2.tar.bz2;  tar  -xvf 
alsa-lib-1.0.2.tar;   cd alsa-lib-1.0.2;  ./configure;  make install
         bunzip2 alsa-utils-1.0.2.tar.bz2;  tar  -xvf 
alsa-utils-1.0.2.tar;   cd alsa-utils-1.0.2;  ./configure;  make install
         bunzip2 alsa-oss-1.0.2.tar.bz2;  tar  -xvf 
alsa-oss-1.0.2.tar;   cd alsa-oss-1.0.2;  ./configure;  make install

(might want to reboot here ... or not ...)

4) run "alsaconf" to find your sound card & configure your 
/etc/modules.conf file

5) run "chkconfig --add alsasound" to add the alsasound to system 
startup  (/etc/init.d) services

6) reboot and give it a try!
