I recived a mail from suse that i should install alsa 0.9.* for digital din, i installed but now i don't have no sound, not even analog sound, when i try to open the mixer he says that can't open, and it says to check the permissions, i check and it's all okey. The other problem is how to unistall the pakadge alsa 0.9.0, is there an ./unistall alsa.0.9.0?
or do i have to do manualy, and what about the symbolic links.
Any help will be apreciated. Thanks

Alsa is a set of kernel drivers...
Doesn't Suse use rpm? Uninstal like you would a normal rpm.
Or if no from rpm how did you install it?
Perhaps upgrade to a new kernel. (I think they have rpms for that in Suse). This probably will not uninstall it but it will fix problem.
You might want to check what there was in that package you installed. If it was tarball, they don't usually (at least anything that i've installed as tarballs) mess around your system without warning, but give their own directory structure. If it was RPM you have to see where it has put and what.
Then if there is some files that are used by mixer, check their permission. If there is symbolic links under mixer directory structure, check the permissions of those that they point at atleast. Last but not the least, read all the documentation that came with the package and see wheter there is any reference to what your experiencing. Also google search with the error syntax is advisable.

As root, in the same directory where you typed "make install" try typing "make uninstall."
