Hope I could help. If you run KDE, remember that the default volume is set to idiotically ZERO, which results in that you hear nothing until you run the kmixer and set it up.
I mention this because this has gone several times through the lists and newsgroups that I read and also comes up again and again.
I wonder why Suse does these idiotic things...
For one, it's not SuSE doing these things, it's the driver. And two, it's not idiotic. ALSA for the same reason initially mutes all devices and you have to set appropriate levels and unmute the devices you want to use. Given that no two people will agree on what is an acceptable level, it's best to have the level at zero and require people to set it to a level acceptable for them. -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
