Hi,
I have recently updated my Suse 9.2 to Suse 10.0 on my Dell Latitude D600.
Almost everything worked fine, except that I need now to run alsaconf everytime I boot to get the sound working.

I have a : Intel 82801DB-ICH4 Card model
==> 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller

when I try to configure it (as it appears "not configured" in Yast2) it gives me a "an error has occured during the installation of ..."

Note that I also have another desktop PC with a different sound card, and there I cannot make it work at all since the upgrade to Suse 10.0, either through Yast2 or alsaconf (when doing alsaconf, the result is a pretty ugly saw-like sound...).

Is there something I missed ? I saw some posts on similar issues, but cannot get a clear idea of what to do to solve the issue there.

Thanks for your help.

Eric
P.S.: Suse10 upgrade also didn't change my mouse device to the right thing, and I had to do it by hand in the XF86Config. Pretty annoying and very stupid from the Novell guys...

Have you tried compiling the latest ALSA drivers?

Hi,
thanks for the suggestion but in fact this was getting rather complicated. I finally found a thread on the web suggesting that the "sound" file could have been made incompatible with Yast after running alsaconf. I then moved it (it is under /etc/modprobe.d) and relaunched Yast which seemed to work now. I hope this is going to be "stable"...

thanks again
