Didn't even notice the snd-ice1724 in the lines above, guess I need new
glasses :-). But even with the corrected version it didn't change. Same
result.
I also tried putting these lines in /etc/modprobe.d/sound instead, but that
didn't help either. And I asked in alt.linux.suse newsgroup if maybe openSuse
startup is doing something special.

Yes and that mad be suspicious, that's why I asked in the suse newsgroup.

Yes, I noticed that. Slot 1 seems to be garbage.
Sometimes after a reboot slots 0 and 1 are exchanged, i.e. I see
0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xff7ec000 irq 18
1 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xffaf8000 irq 21
Please note that in this case slot 2 is not recognized at all.
And the modules list (i.e. /proc/asound/modules, only contains:
0 snd_hda_intel
1 snd_hda_intel
But as you said the devices are probed in random order, that may explain it.

Not that I know of. The question is how would I find out.
The video card docu says it's a
Sapphire Radeon HD 2400Pro 256M DDR2 VGA DVI passiv

Oh, I had forgotten about that. That was a relict of one of my experiments.
But removing that made no difference.

It seems I get sound for the onboard always (no matter if it's 0 or 1),
but for ice1712 I only get it when the onboard is recognized as device 0.
aplay -vv -D hw:2,0 asmile.wav
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1429:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card
aplay: main:583: audio open error: No such file or directory
Thanks for your thorough replies. I'm still trying to digest all you've
written. I'll try it again with a model name tomorrow.
Great support. Thanks
Klaus
