I guess I have to disable the hotplug (or coldplud) for the sound card. I remember reading somewhere something, but I can not find this any more. Any pointers?
probably the modules do not get loaded automatically. yast would have arranged that, normally at least...
do a lsmod when all works, and a lsmod after a fresh reboot. some snd* related modules will be missing, reload them manually (as root, "modprobe xyz"). If you know them all, then try putting the modprobe's in /etc/init.d/boot.local or similar.
and do not forget to check alsamiver, sound might get played, but muted, you need to unmute manually. Especially pcm related stuff.. Once the volumes are ok, do a "alsactl store" (as root).
HTH, Matt
Yes, the modules are not loaded. I just wanted to avoid boot.local stuff, and to do it SuSE way. Reading the docs, hwup should check what's in /etc/modprobe.d/sound and load it. All these modules are in /etc/modprobe.d/sound. And there is a file in /etc/sysconfig/hardware/hwcfg- for the card as well. I just can not figure it out how to change these files so the hwup script picks them up. Any help? And ... for the second problem - I found out, that if I do not use alsaconf for a second time, but just modprobe the module, mplayer works OK. So, for now I just would like to do the right stuff to load modules upon startup. Cheers -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)
