Hi !
My information is based on what the SuSE handbook and the SuSE support
service told me and they said, that i have to renew and recompile the
kernel, because there is no sound support included. I'm using RedHat now
because SuSE isn't that thrilling, so i don't have to deal with that prob
any longer.
Thank you for your answer.
