Do you get anything in /var/log/messages? Are the sound modules getting loaded? (check with lsmod)
Nothing in /var/log/messages, and lsmod shows: suillus:~ # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-mixer-oss 15576 0 (autoclean) snd-via82xx 16160 0 snd-pcm 74148 0 [snd-via82xx] snd-timer 17024 0 [snd-pcm] snd-ac97-codec 45400 0 [snd-via82xx] snd-mpu401-uart 4128 0 [snd-via82xx] snd-rawmidi 15968 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 4528 0 [snd-rawmidi] snd 40388 0 [snd-mixer-oss snd-via82xx snd-pcm snd-timer snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] What's particularly odd is that the loss of sound was provoked by the switch to KDE 3.2, but if I start my system in state 3, thus bypassing KDE, alsaconf still hangs up when trying to play its sample sound. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the sound card from Yast, and also running with the sound card uninstalled. I've tried removing all sound entries from /etc/modules.conf and then reinstalling the sound device, either through alsaconf or through Yast. Nothing works. This is a very frustrating problem.
