&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; Jim,
&gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks for your response. The drivers were loaded automatically during
&gt; &gt; &gt; the installation and appear not ALSA related. However, the &quot;test&quot;
&gt; &gt; &gt; facility
&gt; &gt; &gt; from inside the yast hardware configuration should work regardless? It
&gt; &gt; &gt; worked on SuSE8.2 but not on 9.2. I noticed on the SuSE site that
&gt; &gt; &gt; there appear to be issues with ALSA drivers in the 9.1 distro, but
&gt; &gt; &gt; presently I am not sure whether that has anything to do with my
&gt; &gt; &gt; problem. Looking at /proc/modules a whole bunch of sound stuff is
&gt; &gt; &gt; loaded and is practically identical to what is in /proc/modules in
&gt; &gt; &gt; 8.2. I removed and reinserted the ALSA stuff without any effect. I am
&gt; &gt; &gt; running KDE on both os's. I have not build anything into the kernel;
&gt; &gt; &gt; what would that be anyway if the relevant modules appear to be loaded?
&gt; &gt; &gt; To Andrew: I was aware of that trick.
&gt; &gt; &gt; Presently my hypothesis is that I have a broken driver. I will try to
&gt; &gt; &gt; insert the driver from 8.2 into 9.2, probably is not going to work,
&gt; &gt; &gt; but worth trying. Thanks again. Cor van Dijk
