on a fresh 11.2 install the sound stutters (test sound in Yast, playing a wav-file or an audio CD): it's like the sound would be played twice with small pauses.
- "head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec" gave me codec IDT 92HD75B2X5 - searched the ALSA-Configuration.txt file for the codec IDT 92HD75B2X5 with no luck - read in a forum I could use "model=hp-m4" and so changed /etc/modprobe.d/sound: removed the original line "options snd slots=snd-hda-intel" and entered "options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4" rebooted, no change - added "enable=1 index=0" to that line, rebooted, no change - run the script alsa-info.sh, results are here: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5d9fd9023f11f4230e2104433a814da7ab817176
- searched the alsa site for the Codec IDT 92HD75B2X5 with no luck - tried to find the info for Alsa-update-snapshot, but wherever I click, it says "TBD - openSUSE-11.2 is still under development with release planned in
I believe that you went through much of the correct process to try and configure your current alsa driver. I have a similar problem with my new laptop that has a similar chip with Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X. I have also googled and come up with similar results to yours. I have working sound on the new laptop, but I have not been able to get the mic to work. I've had similar problems with previous laptops with HDA intel sound chips. From my experience, one has to upgrade to the latest alsa driver and sometimes that does not work until the Alsa project gets around to properly supporting the chip. Try to upgrade your alsa using the tar.gz files from the Alsa site using the latest alsa. You will still have to configure the sound card with Yast2 and specify the right model and perhaps other options also. The HDA chips have a reputation of being difficult to configure, and I have had that experience. I had to wait for several cycles of alsa releases to get my old laptop sound card to work. Good luck.
