I'm having a really hard time setting up the audio support on the computer I built for SuSE 10.2, and I'm hoping to find someone who's been here, done that.
The sound card is onboard, on an Elitegroup motherboard, and YaST2's hardware information identifies it as a PCI "Elitegroup audio device," with the vendor nVidia. I'm not sure what other bits of info from there are important in identifying it.
Hardware setup says it's an nVidia sound card, and that it's not configured. When I try to configure it, an error comes back saying that module snd-hda-intel can't be located. (Hardware info tells me that IRQ 11 is enabled, and the sound card memory is active.)
All the Linux support I could find on www.nVidia.com was for their graphics cards.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance for any help with it!

Hi Jerry,
the snd-hda-intel is in ALSA package, and it should be automatically installed if YaST has any source of software available (CD/DVD/FTP/HTTP/etc..). You can install alsa manually using YaST and then the audio setup module will not complain.
Apropos nvidia: The drivers for nforce chipset are included in kernel: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html so there is no need to download them.
Thanks for the quick response, Rajko. ALSA was already installed, but just in case, I checked every other package that was associated with ALSA in YaST, and installed everything. Then I tried again to configure the card, with the same results.
I also tried using alsaconf, which doesn't find any PCI card present, despite what YaST hardware information says. I tried configuring it as a legacy Soundblaster, figuring that might be a safe fallback (like a graphics card used for VGA), but that didn't help, either.
Soundblaster is OK for compatible cards. It was never safe option like VGA in graphic.
I've also tried using YaST to configure it as every type of nVidia card listed, without any luck. I've run out of ideas.

It should be the snd-hda-intel. I had that without glitch with retail version of openSUSE 10.2. It is not complete support, some parts of mixer don't show up, but I have sound. I guess that module is installed as part of kernel. Check /lib/modules/2.6.18.8-0.3-default/kernel/sound/pci/hda it should have 2 files: snd-hda-codec.ko snd-hda-intel.ko If they are in than run as root in console [1]: lspci and hwinfo --sound and post output.
