I have two questions about linux.

My first one is I am runnning RedHat 7.1 and have a SB live Xgamer card with dolby digital speakers, I can here from my headphones but How do I pump sound to my speakers?

My second question is how do I install and run programs in RedHat 7.1?
 
To get sound out of your speakers, look mixer settings just like under Windows. Probably just volume is turned down. To install RPM package, just write (as root) "rpm -i packagename.rpm" on command line. Installing programs in tar.gz (source) format is a bit harder, but almost always there's README file supplied with them. To extract tar.gz archive, write "tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz". For running programs, writing the program name into command line is enough. You can use "locate" or "whereis" to find where program binaries are located.
 
What version of Linux are you using and what desktop (GNOME or KDE, etc) ?

The easiest way to install rpms is to open your file explorer and right click on the .rpm and choose install.
