all sounds. I have no sound at all.

i2kdave

I don't know why, but yast is detecting 2 sound cards, one is Intel 82801DB-ICH4 and the other is AC'97, which it says isn't configured. When I try to remove the Intel 82801DB-ICH4, nothing happens and when I highlight it and click "edit" the window just goes away.

Well that would explain why you have no sound, if one card is blocking the other (even if the other card doesn't exist). I'm perplexed as to why your onboard sound is showing up as two devices though...

i'm perplexed too

antidrugue

1) What is the exact model of your motherboard?
2) What's the output of
3) Are you using the default kernel for Suse 10.0 ?

I'm gessing here that the module for your soundcard gets loaded after the module ICH4, which seems to conflict your soundcard. If that is true, then there will be a '"simple" fix for that.

Just post the info I asked and we'll make it work.

Plus (I'm sure it's not related to that), but have you made sure your username appear in the section "sound" of the file:
Of course, you can have a lot of fun too trying these links:

3) yes, I am

OK, good.

So your motherboard gets its sound from the "intel 845" chipset, which is based on the popular "intel 810" chipset. Pretty standard.

If I'm not mistaking, Suse comes with sound compiled as a module.

Minimally for sound to work with your card you'll need those modules:

snd-intel8x0
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss
snd-seq-oss

They should be already present with the default Suse kernel.
(If you check /etc/modules.conf they should be all there.)

One thing is sure: you don't need special drivers to make this work: intel 810 works perfectly with all distros.

Myself I use the same chipset as you do.
I had problem with sound at first.
Solution: I configured a proper /etc/asound.conf file.
But, then again I use Debian Sarge.

For info:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc...odule=intel8x0
http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=intel8x0

Best working /etc/asound.conf I found:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-lapto.../msg00100.html

Seems to me that you're not the only one trying to get the sound to work in Suse 10.0.

It's a bug in Suse 10.0:

Sorry, it's a bug.

I'm curious about this...

Another method, if I may suggest, is to delete and re-install your audio driver. No guarantee's this will work, but its simple and straight forward to try.

Unfortunately, sometimes SuSE won't let you delete the driver. You can try that, and if SuSE-10.0 doesn't let you delete the driver, then check out the last post by "themainliner" in this thread, which may (or may not) be relevant to giving you a solution:

I ran trought a similar problem when I upgraded my Suse 9.3 to Suse 10.

I fixed the problem today you can find everything you need here

antidrugue, here is the output of modinfo soundcore:

I tried the solution suggested by oldcpu and neopard, and it seemed to have worked, getting the correct soundcard recognized and configured, but I still don't have any sound when doing a test
