Ok, that is a bit strange. I wonder if the USB snd stuff isn't behind this. Try unpluging the usb headphones then reboot into init 3, bring up yast as root, delete any sound card (unless it shows the snd-emu10k1 drivers).
I tried many variations of this in the past few days. Yesterday I even went so far as to reformat my root partition and re-install 10.2 from the master disk (the retail version this time, not the downloaded version - just in case that would make a difference). On install I had the usual 10.2 no sound problem... solved by adding the Audio group to $USER. (sep issue, and I wish someone could tell me why this is a problem on some systems, and not on others). No USB headset was plugged in.... and exactly the same /dev/dsp setup as before. And... still no OSS sound in any apps that need/use OSS sound. I cannot under any circumstances convince my sound card to work with the emu10k1 drivers. It will not work at all unless i swap over to the ca0106 driver - this is consistent with pretty much everything I've read on the web.. the SB Live!24 is supposed to used the ca0106 drivers not the emu10k1 drivers (which seem to be targeted at the Audigy chipset).

They are only 30-some Euro at the local computer shop... if they still have any. Seems like everyone is pushing the shiny new SoundBlaster XFi (or something)... that are 300 Euro.
