Hello,
I have problem with my sound card Intel 82801DB AC'97 on SuSE 9.2. It
doesn't work and I don't know, how to do, so that I can hear a sound.
There is nothing in modules.conf
Should I install some modules or something like this?
Thank you for your help
Darek

I have an Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio. I don't know if it uses
the same modules as yours, but mine uses the following alsa modules:

snd_page_alloc
soundcore
snd
snd_timer
snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss
snd_pcm_oss
snd_ac97_codec
snd_intel8x0
snd_intel8x0m

It depends If you have a 2.4 kernel you need either OSS support
(compiled in or moduls) or you need to have ALSA installed
(preferable). But I would have thought SuSe has a configuration
tool for that. If not try the following:
After installing the appropriate driver you put something like
this in modules.conf (replace snd-intel8x0 with your driver).

## Sound
# ALSA options
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
# OSS/Free options for OSS compability
alias char-major-14 soundcore
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 sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0

Now when you run alsaconf your sound system should be up and
running, but don't forget to run alsamixer to unmute the
necessary channels. To start sound on start-up you need a script
in /etc/rc.d/init.d (does SuSe use System V init?).

For 2.6 kernels ALSA is part of the kernel, it only needs to be
enabled during compiling.
