I realize that this is not a amd64 question so I am sorry if it is inappropiate. I have asked on several forums and not had one reply. The folks here are very knowledgable so I am hoping someone has an idea for me. I have installed Novell/SuSE 10.0 on my trusty IBM Thinkpad 600e. I have used this TP for several years, starting with SuSE 9.0. It has worked great. I did have a few problems starting the sound with 9.0 but managed to get it going. When I used it with 9.2 I had absolutly no problem with anything other than APM. Sound worked great. With this same new laptop I have not been able to make the soind work correctly at all. If I go into YaST>Hardware>Sound I show two sound cards. CS4239 that will not open for editing, nor can it be deleted. I have to delete the sound file from /etc/modprobe.d. When this is done the other sound card(CS4610 Sound Fusion Audio Acceleraror. Using Driver snd-CS4232) in the sound configuration window can be edited as sound card 0. I can set the parameters to what they should be and the test sound plays great. Nothing else will play through the speakers. After a reboot only chirps and scratchy stuff will come out of the speakers even the test sound plays this way. If I go back to the yast sound configuration page and edit using advanced setup all the parameters are correct but I need to highlight them and press set. Then the test sound will play as before, but nothing else plays at all. If I try to set the volume plugin in my gkrellm there is no device available. Using Kmix the tray icon show a red x and has no controls when opened. I have tried other solutions, alsaconf, modprobe,etc. and have had the same results. David
