Searching around on the internet I think this question has been asked by others but I cannot find an answer that I can understand so hopefully someone here will be able to guide me into the light...
I am trying to get a media center built, based on SuSE 10.3, and am running into a snag that is rather annoying that involves the sound card
Dear Marc, Whenever I run into problems with my soundcard (different from yours but..) I use alsaconf, let it run, give it the input requested and are up and running.
Thanks Constant - I guess I didn't mention that running alsaconf is another path I have tried... I been down quite a few paths so far, hard to summarize em all...LOL... Anywise alsaconf seems to sort of help... It does not get the sound system up an running immediately but when I reboot it "seems" as if the Audigy Pro 4 card is selected but then subsequent reboots will bring back the Conexant CX8801 as the selected sound "card/chip" I wish I could understand this well enough so that I could get the sound card configure well enough to immediately test it to see if it is working or not... But the only way I have found so far is to try something and then reboot and until I have rebooted several times I do not know if I fixed the problem or not.... And Alsaconf apparently does not fix it permanently....
I think I have a very similar problem but with different hw: motherboard with integrated audio, an SB Live card and a USB webcam with a built-in mic. In my case I can usually see the integrated device and the webcam but not the SB Live card. I tried to simplify the situation and unplugged the webcam. Since then I get both of the other devices working consistently, with each reboot. So my suggestion: try and boot without your USB receiver and see what happens. Another suggestion: instead of rebooting, try "rcalsasound restart" as root - in my case, this usually made the SBLive card appear and the webcam disappear.
