Oh, I know.

... my driver is an open driver and supported perfectly... only Novell 
doesn't ship the driver with the system... for some kind of legal reason...

Maybe, but it's not detected and working on my system... I'll dig into 
it later.

[opensuse] ALC850 problems in 10.2

2007-03-15 Thread Anders Norrbring
Anyone who's managed to get any sound from a Realtek ALC850 chip in 
10.2?  I just tried to install on a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and the sound 
is detected as nVidia nForce3.. The mobo carry the nForce chipset, but 
the audio part is served by the Realtek chip...

You are being bitten by the decision of Novell to install *only* open 
code 
drivers... and unfortunately the Realtek stuff is not... so, you'll need to 
get the drivers from Realtek.

I am still running 10.0 (not as brave as you my friend) and my latest 
machines (HP slimlines) also require the Realtek drivers. I was able to 
download the drivers from Realtek, install in ALSA, and get the sound to 
work... took me a couple of days to work things out... I'm slower than some.

I guessed...
I'll take a look at it, I actually downloaded the ALSA package from 
Realtek as well, but it didn't work at a first try.. ;)  No big deal 
either for me, but I'm certainly going to look into it again when I get 
some spare time.. (Like in 2012.)
