Indeed. Thanks. I was able to assign snd-hda-intel as the driver for the MCP61, according to the suggestions in the forum (via YaST System Settings), but like the person with the problem there, that alone didn't resolve it - YaST Hardware Sound still fails to load snd-hda-intel when I try to configure the existing sound card, or try to add a new one as an MCP51.. Something he tried later did work, however, possibly in addition to the earlier suggestions. From his message: "I installed the new versions of alsa, then did elsewheres thing with the PCI ID, I still got complaints, but when I went to the sound section and changed to MCP 51 (hda) it works!" What I don't understand is the "installed the new versions of alsa" part. I've installed all updates that are available, supposedly, and there was nothing about ALSA in any of them. I don't believe he was talking about a kernel rebuild, because an earlier message from him stated that such would be beyond his skills. Where can I install updates to ALSA? Is there a patch RPG somewhere that will update it? Are there directions somewhere that are simple enough for a Windows software developer to follow? > > One idea would be to try 10.3 alpha 4. It has new kernel. Is it possible to leave 10.2 installed and switch between them? I wouldn't mind trying a new kernel if there's an easy way to return to what I now have. It's annoying not to have sound, but everything else is working very well indeed, and it appears that 10.3 will solve the problem once it's released. I can be patient for that long, if that's the best answer.
