Did I miss something somewhere? As far as I know, The Audigy is not well supported. The SuSE support hardware database shows unknown http://hardwaredb.suse.de/showProduct.php?LANG=en_UK&searchtype=simple&product_id=24761&arch_id=&dist_id=&PHPSESSID=4eb91d7bff1a123a1dab0c2101d6566a
You read too many suse hardware databases :-) . Don't read the damn thing - I gave up reading it loooong ago because it is so way out of date that it isn't enough funny but rather sad.
Searching Creative gets nothing for this card and I remember at one time I found an open source audigy project that said support for audigy was only partial but now I can't even find that project. Can anyone confirm that the Audigy really is _fully_ supported (not play only) as you say?
I gave up on the audigy. I found just last night from this list and the SuSE hardware database that the SB Live was fully supported. Since I had one of those available, I installed it and found that it worked perfectly.
You shouldn't given up on the Audigy because when I installed it Suse recognised it and all I had to do is to install the (mandatory) sound founts and test the volume settings. In fact, I look at the Sound details and Suse shows me "Audigy Player/Running". So, YES, Audigy is fully supported. Ah, what I should mention here is that I am running Suse v9.0 (Pro). Which version are you running?
As for the original subject, I have one of those cards in another computer with SuSE 9.0 and it is working with no trouble.
