nforce sound 1/2 working, need help!

[nnylip]

I have a Shuttle SN41g2v2 with nvidia nforce audio. After the fc3 install, the sound worked but there was frequent (annoying) intermittent popping or clicking noises out of the speakers (this did not happen with either Mandrake or XP). I did some googling and suggestions were to install nividia drivers. I followed these procedures and the popping is gone but I cannot control the sound from XMMS (only from Kmix) and when I do the System Settings>Soundcard Detection sound test, no sound is heard. So, it is almost right but something is missing. If anyone has a suggeston, please post. Procedure used is below. Thanks - Lou

+Install nvidia audio drivers ( as root: " sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0292-pkg1.run ")

+Modified /etc/modprobe.conf.

*Before modprobe.conf modification:
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

*After modprobe.conf modification:

alias eth0 forcedeth
#alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-0 nvsound
#options snd-card-0 index=0
#install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
#remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

Then:
- ran "modprobe nvsound"

- Tweaked a control in KDE control panel (select "Threaded Open Sound System).

- changed XMMS to use the OSS output plugin.

nnylip, thanks for those tips, I was just wondering is there is a way so that more than 2 programs can use the sound card, ie xmms and a game? I keep getting this error:
