Repeat the first of the three steps I provided last night and configure the card *once* with YaST and then leave it alone. The fact that all the controls were there and the test button played sound the *first* time indicates success. After that, *do not* try to test or configure the sound again using YaST or it will corrupt your sound setup. Been there, done that, so have many others.
Bummer - i didn't realize it could be such a fuss to configure the sound card. i've never had any problems with Linux and sound before except on one machine where the microphone input refuses to work.
Instead, at that point, you need to explore and discover which of the installed *mixers* will work with your installed driver/chip combo.
In my case, I get minimal functionality with Kmix and full functionality with QAmix. Your situation will be different because the driver/chip combo is different.
Ah... that i wasn't aware of. i assumed that all mixers have essentially the same features. i'll take a look at qamix and see what happens.
