Very, very weird. At this point i think i've just got to assume the problem is related to the MoBo, because this card has worked in other systems and on other Suse 10.1 installations. i'll check for a bios update, and if that doesn't work i'll give up. (After doing a quick search for asrock bios updates, it would seem that you have to run the updates from FLOPPY disk in DOS mode - and i have neither!)
What is xine using to play? alsa or oss?
It's set to auto, so i'm not sure... But selecting 'alsa' and 'oss' both work. i didn't expect alsa to work, though.
Have a look at the files under /dev/snd and make sure you have permission to read and write to and from them

Exiting. Indeed: owl:~ # alsactl names <no output> i've looked into doing a bios update, but i have neither a floppy drive nor a FAT partition off of which to run the update, so i'm out of luck there. My BIOS doesn't print its version number, anyway, so i can't be sure that i'm actually flashing a newer version.
