After Packman-update with new kernel SOUND IS GONE

Hi all!:)
I am quite new to Linux. After installing SUSE 10.1 I wanted to get my videos running and updated my system with several packman packages, among these a new kernel. Now my sound does no longer work. Before my sound worked fine. Now I have videos but no sound. After checking several forums and stuff I believe the problem has to do with a sound module. Apparently there are 2 ways of communication between module and kernel?:confused:

Shell command modinfo soundcore gives me this result:

Quote:

# modinfo soundcore
filename: /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.25-smp/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko
description: Core sound module
author: Alan Cox

supported: yes
depends:

Woulld anybody out there be so kind and give me a hint what to do?

Many thanx,

Jo

What YAST tells me about sound configuration

A bit more info::study: When trying to re-install the soundcard with YAST, it tells me:

Quote:

YAST
"kernel module snd-fm801 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters including invalid IO or IRQ parameters."

And here some more info:
KDE (configuration) gives me the following info:

Quote:

(...)audio devices, synth devices, midi devices, mixer devices...
NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG

All this means bohemian viallges to me...
As well I have taken out the card physically - no result.
Please help

Jo
