I have an 'old' Compaq 1260 laptop which has an ESS18xx sound chip. It works fine up to an including suse 9.3.
I've installed 10.0 and all works fine except for the sound. Using YAST I tell it to search for the old chips and it goes into the chip found/ configure dialog. I select the ESS 18xx and click edit and poof goes the dialog and I'm back to the opening YAST dialog.
I've updated, installed all that I can find but still the audio setup bombs. Can anyone point me toward a solution??? How to setup Sound without YAST?
Thanks Richard
I have a similar problem with an old machine with ISA sound card. The detection acts exactly as you see it, and YaST crashes. I have filed a bug report here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=117688 Looks like that ISA is not a target for support, and most probably they are not going to fix it. I guess, if more users confirm the bug, thus showing that this support is still needed, they may put some efforts :) Anyway, I'll try the other suggestions from the list and use alsaconf, and I'll report back.
