[Sound] please help a linux newbie

[GubbrSingh@xxxxxxx]

hey guys, like the subject says, I'm totally new to linux, I had a bitch of a time just figuring out how to dual boot red hat 8 and xp pro without messing up any partitions or boot sectors  -= \

well I guess heres my issue ...

I know that I have a Cirrus Logic CS4610 SoundFusion Audio Accelerator  (cs4610) sound card (according to soundcard detection).  Yes it works on windows just fine, but on linux I cant get any sounds.  It DOES in fact play audio cd's on linux though.   I've also tried using sndconfig but it says that my soundcard is not supported by it.  I later tried installing the alsa drivers/libraries/utilities following the directions on their website in accordance to the cs4610 instructions but I kept getting errors.   According to the hardware browser, this is my output....
