Hi all,
when i installed SuSE 7.1 i had a problem with my sound (lack of it as in none) I emailed suse support back in forth and sent them an info.txt file they requested. They told me to go into /modules.conf and delete the paragraph YaST2 and the paragraph following it. They also had me unloadl my sound module as they said that somehow it looked as if the conf had been done by Alsa. They looked at the info.txt and said that the soundcard (genius soundmaker32) was on irq10 but that they didn't see any drivers. That is the last communication i have had from them.
I don't know what to do with this, they kinda left me hanging. I get a message about error in /modules.conf when i boot up, and on top of that i really miss not having any sounds.
Can anybody help me through this problem?
Thanks,
Dallam

hi webtoe,
modprobe: invalid line 505 /etc/modules.conf

however, i am thinking this is because there because of the deletions i made.

Fixed it.
If anyone with SuSE 7.1 is having a sound problem similar to this, this is what i did to fix it:
Configure ALSA manually:
If ALSA canīt configure your soundcard, do it manually. Open the /etc/modules.conf
with an editor as root. Search for the entries

#*****************************************************************************
#
# ALSA native device support and OSS emulation support. Uncomment these
# lines to enable ALSA:
#
# alias char-major-14 soundcore
# alias char-major-116 snd
# alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
# alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
# alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
# alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
# alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
#
...

Remove the comment symbol "#" from the beginning of those lines related to the
module configuration, such as:

alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias char-major-116 snd
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss


Remove the comment symbol "#" from the beginning of those lines related to the
module configuration, such as:
Handel the next entrie with the module snd-card-cs461x and the right adresses:

#
alias snd-card-0 snd-card-cs461x
options snd-card-cs461x snd_index=0
#

Save it and than

depmod -a

rcalsasound restart

Hope this helps someone out there.
