[opensuse] Sound issues with openSUSE 10.2 and a Trust 514DX
Another frustrating issue with the computer I installed 10.2 on this past weekend... sound. The onboard sound card was poorly supported, so we installed a Trust 514DX (See: http://www.trust.com/products/product_detail.aspx?item=12950 ) We did some digging before purchasing this card, and it appeared to be reasonably well supported. It uses the cmedia CMI8738 chipset. It was picked up by YaST as soon as we installed the card and powered back on. A quick configure in YaST seemed to work right up until I tested the sound. It plays the sample sound, but it takes 10 minutes to actually play it as it pluses and stutters its way through the audio. Any attepmt to play audio vial alsa results in this stuttering, pulsing sound that draws out the sound sample over many minutes instead of only seconds. Strangely though... playing a video with MPlayer (with default settings) works, although if I would pause the video, the sound would then repeat that last half second or so audio bit over and over until the move was restarted or we logged out of KDE/stopped the sound system. This behavior of the sound happened usign teh default 10.2 install and with updates to the latest also from the 10.2 repositories. Has anyone experienced this with a sound card before? or got a Trust 514DX working in openSUSE? Any suggestions for how I can go about sorting this out?

This was resolved with a clean install of 10.3. I don't know what went wrong with the 10.2 install that screwed up the sound... the card has been well supported in Linux since at least 2004... anyway, with a clean install of 10.3, it was detected during the install and correctly configured.
