I upgraded from Suse 10.3 to Suse 11.0 on Thursday 6/26/08.   The kernel
changed to 2..6.25.5 and with it the /dev setup for the sound.  /dev now has
a subdirectory of snd instead of audio with the pcm dev units and controls.

Everything I had before stopped working.  I've been through the
/etc/modprobe.conf file and and readded the usb product and vendor id
numbers, modprobe and lsmod show that snd-usb-audio is loaded and
/proc/asound/cards show (I think) the right information, but amixer says
there is no audio cards at all.

Is anyone willing to help me troubleshoot this off list?

Mike

    

Mike,
   You can contact me off-list if you prefer. I doubt it will be
necessary and if this is done on-list then you probably get the
benefit of more ideas.

   Not knowing Suse this sounds like a pretty big change. I would
start with alsamixer. Let's erase /etc/asound.state and then run the
command

alsactl store

After doing that does alsamixer find your device? Is it unmuted and
are all the volumes (PCM and master) turned up?

Hope this helps,
Mark
