Bob,

Thanks for posting the instructions.

I watched and helped a bit with Jeremy's alsa installation. I think I would recommend running alsaconf so that /etc/modules.conf is updated before rebooting.

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!
