work. I have a Digital Research PCI 64-bit sound card (Yamaha chipset) that SuSE sees, but does NOT install a driver for. Anyone know if there's anything with the distro. that does support it?
Yamaha chipsets are not supported by either the kernel drivers or ALSA
(which Yast2 supports exclusively). This is because Yamaha refuses to
release specs for their chips without NDA, thus making it impossible to
write OpenSource drivers.
Your only chance is the commercial version of OSS/Linux, of which you'll
find a demo version in our distribution (opsod_up/opsod_smp in series pay).
These demo versions are limited to 20 minutes runtime and you'd have to buy a
license from 4Front Technologies in order to permanently use them. See
http://www.opensound.com for further details.
