Dear People, I an new to this list, though not to linux and especially SuSE linux. A few weeks ago I bought a laptop Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo V 2045. I have a problem with the sound card. I have searched through internet but cant seem to find an answer which solves my problem. The problem is suse can not properly configure my sound card. It is a high definition audio, which suse recognizes and configures, however as it s playing a sound file and as soon as i change the volume setting the sound goes away. when i restart alsa and reconfigure the card it starts working again, though with a strange sizzling noise, but again when i change the volume setting the sound disappears. Apart from this everything just works perfect but this is so annoying that i am thinking of compiling a development kernel. any help is much appreciated. thank you and kindest regards sinan
