Hi all, if modprobe snd-hda-intel doesn't return anything that it means module is loaded. lsmod | grep snd should give list of all modules that contain string "snd" and snd-hda-intel is probably in the list. The lspci entry tells that your card is different: 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) Mine is MCP51. I just found something that might be helpful: http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=30235 One idea would be to try 10.3 alpha 4. It has new kernel. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
