Hello! I found no solution to my problem described here, so I need your help! I have a Motherboard 'ASRock ALiveNF6G-DVI' with an onboard sound device "7.1 CH Premium Level HD Audio (ALC888 Audio Codec)" included. With OpenSuse 10.2 I don't get that audio device working. I had to recompile the original kernel with PREEMPT & SMP deactivated (because otherwise my wlan card doesn't work - see http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB...pic.php?t=307). I used the ASLA software from Realteks' homepage (realtek-linux-audiopack-4.05e.tar.bz2). During the installation an audio device is found: "hda_intel: 00:05.0 Audio device NVidia Cooperation MCP61High Definition..." and the /etc/modprobe.conf is configured, but then a error message follows (during modprobing): Quote: #################################Begin############################################## ALSA lib confmisc.c:560snd_determine_driver) could not open control for card 0 ALSA lib conf.c:3479_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device or address ALSA lib confmisc.c:392snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:3479_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device or address ALSA lib confmisc.c:955snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:3479_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device or address ALSA lib conf.c:3948snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device or address ALSA lib pcm.c:2090snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default aplay: main:533: audio open error: No such device or address Saving the mixer setup used for this in /etc/asound.state. /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1163: No soundcards found... #################################End############################################## Lsmod shows the following: Quote: #################################Begin############################################## Module Size Used by snd_page_alloc 10248 0 nls_iso8859_1 4352 1 nls_cp437 6016 1 vfat 12288 1 fat 50460 1 vfat ipv6 236384 14 af_packet 20488 2 vmix 34596 0 osscore 567632 1 vmix lirc_imon 13316 1 lirc_dev 14164 1 lirc_imon thermal 14600 0 processor 25264 1 thermal button 6928 0 battery 10372 0 ac 5508 0 apparmor 50328 0 aamatch_pcre 14464 1 apparmor loop 16008 0 dm_mod 54968 0 sr_mod 16036 1 cdrom 34080 1 sr_mod usbhid 46176 0 usb_storage 77760 3 rt61 230024 1 forcedeth 38404 0 ohci_hcd 18692 0 ehci_hcd 29448 0 usbcore 107984 6 lirc_imon,usbhid,usb_storage,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd parport_pc 37348 1 lp 11588 0 parport 34632 2 parport_pc,lp ext3 134664 2 mbcache 8452 1 ext3 jbd 61364 1 ext3 edd 9924 0 fan 4996 0 sg 32540 0 sata_nv 11140 2 libata 113812 1 sata_nv amd74xx 13724 0 [permanent] sd_mod 20496 7 scsi_mod 130952 5 sr_mod,usb_storage,sg,libata,sd_mod ide_disk 16384 0 ide_core 123016 3 usb_storage,amd74xx,ide_disk #################################End############################################## Lspci: Quote: #################################Begin############################################## 00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Memory Controller (rev a1) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 LPC Bridge (rev a2) 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation MCP61 SMBus (rev a2) 00:01.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Memory Controller (rev a2) 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP61 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP61 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI bridge (rev a1) 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP61 IDE (rev a2) 00:07.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 Ethernet (rev a2) 00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP61 SATA Controller (rev a2) 00:08.1 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP61 SATA Controller (rev a2) 00:09.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI Express bridge (rev a2) 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI Express bridge (rev a2) 00:0c.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP61 PCI Express bridge (rev a2) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:08.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.
