Help is appreciated, as I purchased this computer specifically to do an audio project!

do this as root, ensure you have the official "updates" repository already configured.

# zypper sa -r http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio/openSUSE_10.3_Up...

# zypper ref

# zypper in alsa alsa-oss alsa-driver-kmp-default alsa-plugins libasound2 alsa-utils

reboot\

This solution was great. My wife has an HP dv2000 with the "waikiki" chip and I've been struggling with the mike and sound for a couple of years. I had not gotten the mike to work well and was hoping for a simple way to keep the alsa driver updated. This is an excellent solution. Can it be addded to one of the standard community repositories like the webcam drivers, etc? Gustav N�����r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�Z+i�b�*'jW(�f�vǦj)h���Ǿ��i�������
