The soundcard in the Latitude CPi is a CS4237B. I used a 300MHz model for years and Alsa support for this card has really come a long way.
Even if the wizards don't automatically correctly detect and configure your soundcard you should be able to get it going without too much fuzz. The driver to use is the Alsa snd-cs4236 driver.
I haven't used SuSE a lot so I am not sure on how the modules are configured and loaded, but on most distributions you can just edit /etc/modules.conf. What you want to add is something like this:
Code:
alias char-major-116
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
options snd cards_limit=1
options snd-cs4236 index=0 id=card_zero port=0x530 cport=0x210 \
irq=5 dma1=0 dma2=1 mpu_port=0x330 isapnp=0 fm_port=0x388 mpu_irq=9
Then try loading the driver:
modprobe snd-cs4236
If no errors are reported you should be able to unmute the card using your favourite mixer software (
alsamixer in a console works for me).
