Why do I have to delete the configured sound carads every time I log in to SuSE 8.2 Professional and reconfigure them to get anything to work other than pcm from the general system. As soon as I reconfigure the sound, everything works....until I log out. I have seen other people reporting this, but can't recall a fix at the moment. Why doesn't SuSE fix this? It is a real agravation. And of course, the official response from SuSE is that they do not provide installation support for sound (They did not respond that way when I bought earlier versions of SuSE...they provided excellent assistance.) I could understand that approach if the things being affected were something unusual, but you can't even get the alsamixer to run until you delete and reinstall the sound cards. Does anyone have a solution? (You can't tell I'm frustrated with this can you?) Thomas
