Dave gave me the advice shown below about uninstalling and reinstalling
sound card modules.  Unfortunately, I have a strange problem.  When I
try to uninstall the current  rpm the system tells me it isn't
installed.  Then when I try to install the new one built for my kernel
it says an updated version of the rpm is already installed.

Can someone please help!

First, find the name of the rpm by doing this:

rpm -qa

That will spew a whole mess of RPMS to the screen. To better narrow down
the list, pipe the output through grep like this (grep rocks):

rpm -qa | grep via

If the RPM name doesn't contain 'via' in it, replace that with what it
/does/ contain to find it in the list. I don't recall off hand.

Then, once you have the name of the rpm, do this to uninstall it:

rpm -e name

If it complains about dependencies (which I don't think it will), then
just do this:

rpm -e --nodeps name

Then, install the new RPM:

rpm -Uvh newname

Hope that helps!
