I know there was a big thread about this earlier in December, but no one since has said anything about it. :)
Just got my new E520. Core 2 Duo, 965 chipset, and no sound support in 10.2 to speak of. It looks like it's deliberate, based on the information at http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Sound_Cards ... of course, I'm not even sure that the current 2.6.19.2 kernel would support this motherboard audio properly.
Analog audio out and SPDIF. <sigh>
Well, you can install the current alsa 1.0.14rc1 over the top of the 2.6.18-34 kernel and make it give you *all* the options. :)
Just build ONLY the snd_hda_intel modules, and only use the install-modules target to install it. Minimum disruption to the existing kernel install.
Lots of stuff in the changelog for that version about new PCI ID's for Dell machines, and fixes/changes to the Sigmatel support as well.
I couldn't find anything in the list archives, but did find some stuff for other distributions on the 'net. :)
Anyway, figured I'd make my first post to the list at least vaguely constructive....
Marc, Thanks for this promising news and your efforts. I am unclear about a few things and would like to ask a few questions. Exactly which tar file from the ALSA site did you d/l and compile and install? I installed, compiled and installed: alsa-driver-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 alsa-lib-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz2 alsa-utils-1.0.14rc1.tar.bz The end result is that I got my output volume working normally but my Microphone remains dead.

Could you say a little more about this please? What do you think I have left to do?

Kmix seems pretty minimal. Alsamix seems to be a bit more full featured but I haven't been able to make the microphone work although it does when I boot XP. This is for an HP dv5237d with a Intel Duo Processor and YaST says it is a 82801G (ICH7 family). Alsamixer says it is a HDA Intel Conexant CXT5047. Did you have to do anything in YaST Hardware sound configuration options? Any further help much appreciated.
