I don't run SuSe, but I've just looked on my Debian Etch install, where I recently upgraded the Alsa driver to 1.0.15 (current stable) just for practice, and looking in /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/kernel/sound/usb, the snd-usb-caiaq module exists. checking on an earlier kernel (2.6.18-4-686) where I havn't upgraded alsa to 1.0.15, the snd-usb-caiaq module doesn't exist. Which is your current alsa driver? Run, cat /proc/asound/version Before I upgraded the alsa driver, IIRC it was 1.0.12rc2 for this Debian kernel. The module you want may have just recently been added to the alsa driver, and upgrading the alsa driver may resolve your problem. Link below. http://alsa-project.org/ I've only practiced upgrading the Alsa driver on Fedora, Archlinux, and Debian, but you at least need the kernel headers installed for your running kernel. With Archlinux, the headers were all I needed. With Fedora, I needed the headers, and the kernel-devel package. With Debian, installing the headers also pulled in linux-kbuild-2.6.18 (obviously for the 2.6.18-5-686 kernel that I was going to upgrade the alsa driver against) Have a go at upgrading the alsa driver, as it may well resolve your problem. and please post back with which packages need to be installed to carry out this procedure on SuSe. Once you have downloaded the latest alsa driver, cd to it's location, and simply run, ./configure followed by make su to root, and then, make install Personally I reboot after all that has completed, and checking with, cat /proc/asound/version should now show the 1.0.15 version installed, and just maybe your problem is resolved. All the best. Nigel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
