I have downloaded the source files of the suse 2.2.16 kernel. I have compiled it with the same options as the standard 2.2.16 kernel, but sound does not work. Also, I have no problem with standard 2.2.16 kernel. My sound card is currently a Soundblaster AWE 64.

Presuming the sound drivers are modules.. and that they are in /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc, and the /etc/modules.conf was working and has not been changed, and that your isapnp.conf was working before. I had a similar experience when I upgraded to the SuSE 2.2.16. For some reason the sound modules do not load automatically at boot time. I have not figured out why yet. After the system boots, type lsmod, to see which modules are loaded. Probably shows nothing - thats ok. type: modprobe sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 (these are the default settings -yours may differ) if you see no errors after typing the modprobe line - thats ok. if there are errors, there is probably something wrong with your kernel build. Go back and check the sound section in your kernel config. You do NOT need kernel pnp support for sound. type : lsmod the sound modules as set up in /etc/modules.conf should all now appear and the sound will be working again. I wrote a little script called addsound and put it in /usr/sbin. as follows: #! /bin/sh # start sound modprobe sb io=0x.... etc (same as line above so saves typing) This seems to kick the modules loader and it rereads modules.conf and loads all the sound modules. You can get more sophistcated and put the script in /sbin/init.d if you want to load the sound modules automatically at boot. That is a bit more complicated.. you will have to read how SuSE sets up their boot loading with runlevels etc. I Hope it works..
