Only if it was supported by ALSA. What does alsaconf give you (as root)? hi Joe, Actually, alsaconf is where I started... identified the card, supposedly configured it, but would not play the sample.
To make a longer story shorter, I pulled the driver sources from RealTek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?keyword=ALC880 The file is: realtek-linux-audiopack-4.04c.tar.bz2 The driver compiled without errors and installed ok. I had to manually update the modprobe.conf.local file. The drivers would not start on bootup until I manually added the snd-card-0 alias to the kernel modules list with the sysconfig editor. Now I have sound. But, I also have questions. How do we get this driver into the SuSE distro? When I start the machine why does the boot console log show that the modules are not supported by Novell, and the taint U flag is set...? Why does Yast not see the new modules and give me the option to configure them through Yast? Why does alsaconf not see the new modules and allow me to configure them there?
