Ok everyone here is my question! After updating to the lastest kernel 2.4.18-39 the other day and the new alsa files there on Mantel's site, I lost my sound. Seemed everytime YaST2 tried to setup, it was missing the snd-card-emu10k1 module it needed. Well, as I found out later it was indeed gone and was now the snd-emu10k1 module and I needed to run "alsaconf" as root in a console to get my new settings for my Creative PCI512 card. This worked great to give me sound back and getting alsa working again. Now the problem is and question is, how do I get the rest going like midi? I still cannot use YaST2 as it still complains about the missing module, snd-card-emuk101, but YaST2 does do the complete setup for midi and such too. So what do you do? Make a link somewhere? Go back to an earlier kernel version?
