Recently sound has quit working. I don't believe that this is a hardware problem since it works when booted into another OS. I installed 9.3 recently, but sound was working fine after that stopping at some point since. Back when I was on 9.1, I had done a snapshot of /proc/interrupts: cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 738208 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 379 IO-APIC-edge i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 12: 24226 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 71993 IO-APIC-edge ide2 15: 20598 IO-APIC-edge ide3 16: 43548 IO-APIC-level ohci1394, nvidia 17: 2157 IO-APIC-level SysKonnect SK-98xx 18: 0 IO-APIC-level libata 19: 177 IO-APIC-level ICE1712 21: 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, ehci_hcd When I do it now, I get a much different picture: CPU0 0: 2050795 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 1695 IO-APIC-edge i8042 8: 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 12: 45384 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 87102 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 34629 IO-APIC-edge ide1 169: 0 IO-APIC-level libata 177: 0 IO-APIC-level libata 185: 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, ehci_hcd 193: 3687 IO-APIC-level eth0 201: 126505 IO-APIC-level ohci1394, nvidia 209: 22758 IO-APIC-level ICE1712 NMI: 223 LOC: 2050226 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 The sound card has gone from irq 19 to irq 209. Could this have anything to do with my problem? I tried going to YAST to configure it, but YAST informs me that: "The kernel module snd-ice1712 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters." Any ideas what could be going on? How do I change the module parameters assuming I can figure out what needs to be changed? Regards, Bill
