I have recently downloaded and installed SuSE 8.2 from my hard disk. Everything works OK except for the sound.
I configured the sound card (Creative SB AWE64 Gold) using Yast2, no error was reported. But it doesn't work.

One thing to note, for example on the Yast2 test it plays the sound during a fraction of a second and then stops. The same occurs when do the alsaconf tests , but additionally is post an error message:

Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: pcm_write:1007: write error: Input/output error


Well, any suggestion? (please)

I know this problem - I've got the same...
My soundcard is a SB 128 (yes, I've installed the alsa patch)
XMMS plays mp3 without any errors, but the test from alsaconf oder xine etc. repeats the first seconds several times and continues then with the actual second (repeating it too) and so on

PLS help!!

I've got the solution: add the bootoption acpi=off

Where I have to add the boot option acpi=off ??

at lilo boot loader you just have to typ "linux acpi=off" and press enter

in linux you can add acpi=off in the bootloader configuration module from yast2

Thanks Fireslam!
