    Question Conexant audio chips problem

    Hello,

    My HP laptop is giving me some pain. The audiochips is a conexant chip. At least according to HPs homepage. But that card does not seem to be in the list of sound cards in YAST. The sound works to some degree, but when music/sounds/anything plays it loops, like a CD with scratch in it, until I move my mouse cursor around. I am guessing that it is the driver that is incorrect. YAST now tells me that it is a intel card, but that is not right? Does anybody know of any solutions, drivers?

    Thanks

    Hi, upgrade to the latest audio driver Alsa, you can found them here. The new version has bug fixes for conexant chip and new support.

    i'm afraid you'll have to compile it yourself until the driver makes it to suse repo.

    Follow openSUSE audiotroubleshooting guide

    Just follow this audio troubleshooting guide for openSUSE:
    AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

    there are cutting edge rpms for openSUSE. You do need to pay attention to your kernel version, to ensure it matches that of the cutting edge rpms.
