That reminds me... are you member of the "pulse", "pulse-access" and "audio" groups on your box?
One of the pulaseaudio pages I visited http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Perfe... had a procedure for determining whether you should or not. It had three categories. Only if you were in category 1 should you do that. I'm not running HAL and *IS* a plus at the end of the permissions field in the listings when I run ls -l /dev/snd for example crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 4 Jan 13 13:52 pcmC0D0c The group in the hat is "audio" so it means I'm in category 2. It then says <quote> If your distribution belongs to group 2 or 3, you should make sure that no one is in the "audio" group. </quote> Now if you have something Suse-specific that contradicts that I'll be glad to read it.
If you are not too concerned about security questions, try to add your account to the groups I mentioned. I just added my account in /etc/group in any line I thought would be useful (also disk, video, ...), and my sound is back... You need to re-login to activate those group memberships, though "id" will show them immediately.
