I followed the recipe on the alsa website. When rebooting, my sound errormessages at boot were gone! But starting up firefox or skype in KDE gave me an error: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 skype: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 I think this is a problem with 32-bit programs using 64-bit sounddrivers? I'm using openSUSE 10.2 64bit.
I do get sound out of my speakers and headphone, but the microphone still isn't working... :-( I now have in KMix 2 more tabs (input and switches) and a lot of new sliders. I tried some of the microphone slides, but none worked. I will try again tonight. Also I cannot use the Fn-key to change the volume (it moves the wrong slider). But I will try that also tonight.
