Ok, got it working...
I have installed the kotd and tried the sound option you suggested... it didn't
produce any sound, but did something that still looked good: the red LED
switched off from my laptop quickbutton display meaning that theoretically the
hardware recognised the sound card as turned on.
Since while I was trying to get thing working last time I kinda screwed up
things bigtime (compiled and installed alsa from nightly builds ans stuff like
that), I've decided that this option which managed to turn my red light off is
worth the trouble of a reinstall.
I reinstalled everything, and set the hp-m4 option which correctly turned my
red LED off (Note: not the KOTD but the one that came with beta5). Still no
sound... then I noticed that phonon is complaining, so I replaced the gstreamer
pnonon plugin that comes by default and installed the xine plugin instead.
After this I tried testing the sound in Yast, and bearly heard some "sound
pieces"... turned up everything to max and the actually there was some kind of
a sound (a fraction of a second) looping over and over.
After this I tried again all the options that I've been suggested on teh suse
forums and one of them actually did the trick: enable_msi=1.
All in all with a xine backend for phonon and "options snd-hda-intel
model=hp-m4 enable_msi=1" the soundcard is working (seemingly) correctly.
Now I am happy that I managed to get it working, but I still consider it a bug
if I needed 3 days to start it up. Any iead why alsa doesn't recognise the
correct sound card model?
