Your modprobe.conf should look like alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712 options snd-ice1712 index=0 alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel options snd-hda-intel index=1 Yes, reboot. This should specify exactly where the soundcard is supposed to go. From the pastebin output it didn't do that. There could still be issues with the ATI being interpreted as the hda-intel if it is probed first (devices are probed in random order). There should be a way to specify this in the modprobe.conf, but I don't know it off the top of my head. man modprobe.conf > I'm wondering if maybe openSuse is messing something up.

The startup seems to be ignoring the order specified in the modprobe.conf file. # 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel # HDA Intel at 0xffaf8000 irq 21 # 1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI # HDA ATI HDMI at 0xff7ec000 irq 18 # 2 [M2496 ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96 # M Audio Audiophile 24/96 at 0xbc00, irq 21 # # # PCI Soundcards installed in the system # -------------------------------------- # # 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) # 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device aa10 # 05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc.

It is recognizing your on board chip, but might not be setting it up properly. See below. > > Thanks > > Klaus > User specific config file (~/.asoundrc) # pcm.ice1712 { # type hw # card 2 # } # # ctl.ice1712 { # type hw # card 2 # } This is why the 2496 is going into slot 2 instead of the slot requested in the modprobe.conf file. If you want the modprobe.conf to be effective, move this to .asoundrc.bak or something.

If you get sound from the first line (device 0), the onboard hda-intel, well and good. If you don't, you can try playing around with passing model information to see if you can find a configuration that works for it. Hda intels are very configurable and sometimes the probe doesn't get it exactly right. Or the model is not set up yet, so it uses the fallback device which doesn't work. You can try playing around with the model parameter to see if you can find one that has a configuration that matches your device better. Your chip is a Analog Devices AD1988. Add them in the /etc/modprobe.conf file as lines like: options snd_hda_intel model=6stack or laptop or ... You have to reboot each time. Or you can use modprobe to remove the current module and insert the new module. See man modprobe for instructions. Each codec may have a model table for different configurations. If your machine isn't listed there, the default (usually minimal) configuration is set up. You can pass "model=<name>" option to specify a certain model in such a case. There are different models depending on the codec chip.
