hi, i was the person that had the problem. like you said, the audio module of the USB webcam is conflicting with the soundcard. during bootup, the system loads "audio" for the usb-uhci module (lsmod confirms this). so after that loads, xserver is blocked from loading the real soundcard. in my case, the Volume test in YaST->Hardware->Sound works even when the audio USB module was loaded.
the easy fix is to "rmmod audio" after bootup.
anyway, does anyone know of a better way of doing this? can i edit modules.conf or something so the audio module of USB will not be loaded at startup?
Thanks this does solve the problem. Thank you fxf -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux
