Hi, I installed suse 10.2, 32 bit OS on my laptop. My laptop has nvidia's nforce 610M intergrated network and audio device. I don't find any working driver for this device in suse 10.2. In the nvidia's website (http://www.nvidia.in/object/linux_nforce_1.23.html) i found that the audio devices of nforce 430 and later will work on hda-intel driver.

I found similar problem has been posted in one of the forum http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_the_MCP_51/61_nVidia_nForce_onboard_so...

I followed the steps given in the forum and compiled and installed alsa. ALSA found the device to be hda-intel, so i believe it detects the device properly as per the information given in nvidia's website. The driver has been installed successfully and the real-player and Helix are able to play, but my audio device is not producing any sound.

Could you please help me in fixing this problem.

Actually my ethernet network card is also not working. I installed the driver given in the nvidia's website and got my device up and run, (only the ethernet card not the sound card), but the kernel hangs on shutdown indefinitely, stating some of the services were not completed. So i thought it crashed the kernel and re-installed the OS again. I did this because in some of the forums it is given that the nforce driver provided by the nvidia is not reliable and even nvidia won't recommend them. And it is recommended to install the forcedeth drivers on our own. Could you please give me any suggestions for this issue.
