Another couple of reboots later: the on-board now appears with ID 0 in yast and the add-on card doesn't appear at all. Weird.
Hi Stephan,
Do you have another system running that other OS you can plug that card into? You might want to confirm that the add-in card didn't die first and pull down your previous mainboard with it. I know... the chance seems small... but the card not appearing at all tells me this is at least possible.
Unfortunately not - my system with "another" OS is a laptop. i had the same suspicion, but i have no way of testing it. Suse can detect my add-in card, and set volume levels and such, but apparently only if i disable the on-board card. No matter how much i configure either card, though, no sound. The symptoms are the same on both cards, which is the most unusual thing. Really weird. i am, nonetheless, going to try to buy a 10 Euro card somewhere and see if it works, just to rule out your suspicion. i'm not in any mood to carry the PC back to the store just because of the sound card, and they would just say "must be the OS" because the hardware does indeed seem to be okay. Drivers load, mixer sees the cards, and i can even play audio files and watch the motion of the sound in, e.g., amarok... but i can't actually hear them. i also installed Kubuntu on this box, just to see if either sound card works there. It sees and auto-configures the on-board. Same thing, though - it "works" but i can't hear anything.
