I have a MSI K9N Neo motherboard with Athelo 64 dual core processor running smp kernel 2.6.16-25. I upgraded the Alsa programs to 1.0.13. Searched the internet and tried everything I found there, But still have problem installing Sound card with Yast. I get the following error: An error occurred during the installation of MCP55 High Definition Audio. The kernel module snd-hda-intel for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameter, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. Opening the Hardware, Sound, it shows two cards, A8V Deluxe Motherboard (Realtek ALC850 codec) This is the previous motherboard that was working, but I cannot delete this one. Not configured MCP55 High Definition Audio, which I have not been able to edit and install. Always get the error mentioned above whether Automatic, Normal, or Advanced setupo. lsmod shows snd-hda-intel is loaded. snd_ac97_codec 108376 0 snd_ac97_bus 3072 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_mpu401_uart 8832 0 snd_rawmidi 26368 1 snd_mpu401_uart snd_seq_device 8980 1 snd_rawmidi snd_hda_intel 20256 0 snd_hda_codec 195840 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 81804 3 snd_ac97_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 23176 1 snd_pcm snd 62632 8 snd_ac97_codec,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 10656 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10896 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm lspci shows the card on the bus: 00:06.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP55 High Definition Audio (rev a2) Run level editor shows that alsasound is running, hardware output shows the following: linux.subsystem = 'sound' linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/sound/pcmC1D0p' resmgr.class = 'sound' resmgr.device = '/dev/snd/pcmC1D0p' 3: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_371_alsa_capture_1_1' alsa.card = 1 (0x1) alsa.card_id = 'NVidia' alsa.device = 1 (0x1) alsa.device_file = '/dev/snd/pcmC1D1c' alsa.device_id = 'ALC883 Analog' alsa.physical_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_371' alsa.type = 'capture' info.callouts.add = { 'hal-resmgr' } info.callouts.remove = { 'hal-resmgr' } info.capabilities = { 'alsa' } info.category = 'alsa' info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_371' info.product = 'ALC883 Analog ALSA Capture Device' info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_371_alsa_capture_1_1' linux.device_file = '/dev/snd/pcmC1D1c' linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) linux.subsystem = 'sound' linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/sound/pcmC1D1c' resmgr.class = 'sound' resmgr.device = '/dev/snd/pcmC1D1c' 4: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_alsa_timer' alsa.device_file = '/dev/snd/timer' alsa.type = 'timer' info.callouts.add = { 'hal-resmgr' } info.callouts.remove = { 'hal-resmgr' } info.capabilities = { 'alsa' } info.category = 'alsa' info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' info.product = 'ALSA Timer Device' info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_alsa_timer' linux.device_file = '/dev/snd/timer' linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) linux.subsystem = 'sound' linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/sound/timer' resmgr.class = 'sound' resmgr.device = '/dev/snd/timer' 23: PCI 06.1: 0403 Audio device [Created at pci.300] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10de_371 Unique ID: 9LTX.+y3wwbwvfe4 SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.1 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:06.1 Hardware Class: sound Model: "Micro-Star International MCP55 High Definition Audio" Vendor: pci 0x10de "nVidia Corporation" Device: pci 0x0371 "MCP55 High Definition Audio" SubVendor: pci 0x1462 "Micro-Star International Co., Ltd."

Does anyone have some wise words as to why this card will not install? Is there some configuration I need to make that I have not found? Forgot to mention, this is the same except for the interrupt # whether ACPI is on or off. Art
