-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am guessing that this is not really an alsa problem but something related to your kernel and chipset. What kernel are you running (uname -r)? This may also be a SuSe problem. I do not have the same hardware as you (all my AMD machines have various nVidia chipsets, with various degrees of support) so I cannot reproduce the problem. I also do not have any recent experience with VIA chipsets, which is a result of my past experience with VIA chipsets. I have personally had the most success with K/Ubuntu and 64studio, even on my problem laptop (MCP51 nVidia). At least try with a live distro or two (eg. Knoppix and the live Ubuntu CD) to see if the problem persists. You may wish to consider a "stock" kernel from kernel.org for testing and comparison. I have no experience with this on SuSe, only the Debian related distros. Try booting with noirqdebug at the end of the kernel line for your kernel entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst Some other options to try, both alone and in combination: idle=poll acpi_use_timer_override pnpbios=off You may also wish to consider upgrading your BIOS to the latest version Alexey Eremenko wrote: > 1.
