Dear group, Last night I was playing around with my home desktop trying to get the sound to work and somehow I broke some dependencies, now yum update would not run. Can someone help me troubleshoot this. This is the output I am getting from yum update. Thank you in advance.

yum runs, it's just telling you that there are unresolved dependencies. First, I think I'd clean all; then, it may be that you need to add another repository. Finally, you might have to uninstall some stuff, then try to reinstall - I'd do the topmost level (the audio player, say), and let it decide what all it needed....

It seems like there were too many repos involved, hence the issue--that is, one has to, as you've learned to your cost, be careful about priorities when mixing repos such as rpmforge, epel, and especially atrpms (I believe the atrpm site warns about this.)
I don't know how much risk you're willing to take, nor how experienced you are, but one way I've fixed such problems when I've run into them is remove the packages that require the missing depedencies--in your case, for example, firefox and gimp.
Finally, afer I've removed enough, an install will go without errors, and then I can replace the missing packages, this time, being careful which repos I'm using. It can be complex and time-consuming, and of course, no guarantee of success, and sometimes, no doubt, you're better off simply reinstalling from scratch, depending upon how much time you've spent configuring.
I would wait and see if someone with more knowledge comes up with a better solution but offer this in case no one does.
