Following some advice from list-member Carl Hartung, here is the contents of some of my system files, in the hopes that someone will see what it is that i'm missing here:
owl:~ # cat /proc/asound/devices 2: : timer 3: [ 1- 0]: raw midi 4: [ 1- 1]: digital audio playback 5: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback 6: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture 7: [ 1] : control 8: : sequencer This is showing card 1 only (1-0, 1-1 etc). This is the PCI128 add-in.
owl:~ # cat /proc/asound/cards 1 [AudioPCI ]: ENS1371 - Ensoniq AudioPCI Ensoniq AudioPCI ENS1371 at 0x8c00, irq 201 This is also card 1 the PCI128. Card 0 would be the onboard.
owl:~ # cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.11rc3 (Sun Jan 22 09:27:15 2006 UTC). (that doesn't seem right - alsaconf says 1.0.13 is installed) IINM this refers to the driver version for the card not the ALSA version...

i went through the whole gamut of online updates last night, up to and including KDE, so i'm pretty sure i have the latest/greatest of everything.
If anyone can offer any tips on possibly getting audio files to play, i would be be much appreciative. Having audio for movies fulfills 85% of my audio needs, but the weirdness factor of me not being able to play other audio is just bugging the hell out of me.
Make sure you totally disable the onboard sound via system BIOS first. Then run through YaST's sound card setup for the PCI128 card. Seems like the system and the OS and drivers aren't able to differentiate between the 2 cards. Your system seems to have managed to do a partial mix of card 0 and card 1. Have you checked for BIOS updates on this mainboard? Stan
