No. how do i update just the kernel?
I haven’t solved these package conflicts because it’s hard for me to understand what dependencies I need and what ones i don’t. It’s all very confusing. 
Okay, we’ll update your kernel - it’s important.
To make sure please post which repositories you have in YaST > Software > Repositories.
And check what is the repository for the alsa-kmp package as I described in this post: openSUSE updater won’t install updates! - Page 2 - openSUSE Forums.
As I recall, the above is the answer to your question.
Thanks for helping me on this.

With Alsa-kmp, I checked under version as you said but it doesn’t list the repository there. instead it says:
alsa-driver-kmp-default
1.0.16.20081010_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.1-i586
Does that help?
Set your KDE4 repositories to autorefresh.
Have a read here: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE. You need to add the KMP repo to update your alsa-driver.
Thanks.
I did that but I’m still getting a ton of things when I go to update the packages. now I have (it’s long, so i’m posting it in two parts):
