Hi Frank, Thanks for your advice.
I am confused by following discovery; $ rpm -q alsa package alsa is not installed $ rpm -qa|grep alsa balsa-1.2.4-8 alsa-driver-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.2 alsa-utils-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.1 alsa-lib-0.9.4-fr0.rh80.1 # locate alsa ...... ...... /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/alsa-kernel/include /usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc6/alsa-kernel/include/ac97_codec.h ..... ...... /usr/src/alsa/alsa-lib-0.9.0rc6 /usr/src/alsa/alsa-lib-0.9.0rc6/utils ..... ..... /usr/src/alsa/alsa-utils-0.9.0rc6 /usr/src/alsa/alsa-utils-0.9.0rc6/utils I am prepared to remove all of them and get the latest alsa packages to start again. But I hesitate whether removing those packages mentioned above in particular the folders will affect the OS Could you and any folk on the list please shed me some light Thanks in advance.
