I tried installing alsa 1.0.17 stuff .but when installing alsa-driver-1.0.17 it gave me this error

Ok, thanks for that. You have an alc268 in your laptop which typically requires an alsa driver > 1.0.14.
But there is no need to custom compile as there are alsa rpms already in place. I recommend you uninstall the compiled tarballs, and update your alsa with the following six zypper commands in sequence (while your laptop is connected to the internet). Type "su" first to get root permissions:
Code:
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio/openSUSE_10.3/ multimedia
Code:
zypper install alsa alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-firmware libasound2
Code:
zypper rr multimedia
Code:
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio:/KMP/openSUSE_10.3_Update/ multimedia
Code:
zypper install alsa-driver-kmp-default
Code:
zypper rr multimedia
Then restart your PC and test your sound.
