Hi, all! i'm still trying to get my new PC up and running, and just came across a really weird error in the sound config module of yast... i have an on-board SB400/AC97 sound card from which i'm not getting any sound. So in the bios i disabled it and plugged in my PCI SB AudioPCI128 card (which works like an Ensonic). The older card has worked for several years in all versions of Suse, and was working yesterday in Suse 10.1 before my machine's main board died, so i know the sound card works. In the yast sound card configuration we see two columns: NUMBER and CARD MODEL. The cards start with number 0 and go up from there. Despite the fact that i had disabled the on-board card in the bios, yast still sees it and gives it the ID of card 0. To get around that, i used the Delete button to remove the card so i could get my Ensonic to have ID 0. Curiously, i then couldn't change any volume levels on the Ensonic card (the volume screen was completely empty except for the Test button). So... i deleted THAT card from yast and rebooted once. Now in yast i see both cards, first the Ensonic, then the on-board SB400, but niether of them have a number next to them. And when i click on one of them, the sound module simply crashes. i tried to be clever and use the ADD button to add a new card. However, after selecting my driver yast says there was an error loading the driver and won't let me continue the setup. i can see, using lsmod, that it DOES load the snd_ens1371 (and related) drivers. If i remove them and re-add an ens1371 card, yast still tells me that there was an error loading the module and that it can't continue, even though the module has demonstrably been loaded. The weirdest part, howver, is these two entries - one for my disabled on-board card and one for my SB PCI card - neither of which have a card ID number, and both of which cause yast to crash when i select EDIT on them. i can't even DELETE them now. They just sit there, mocking me. Any tips for getting yast to love my soundcard again? -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts
