I do not have a /dev/snd directory. I tried reinstalling the devs rpm package, and that recreated /dev/snd, but after a reboot /dev/snd was gone again. Here's something else I tried. If having the driver loaded is the problem, then the problem should go away if I remove it. So I did rmmod snd_via82xx which succeeded and caused the entry to disappear, as verified by lsmod | grep via82 I then retried the Yast installation and got the same error as before. After that attempt, though, the previous command gave me snd_via82xx 32920 0 indicating that the Yast installation restored the module. So I would guess that the module is loaded but is not usable because of the problems indicated by the original error message (at the beginning of this thread). I also tried alsaconf again and got this, as before: Loading driver... Starting sound driver: via82xx done /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1236: No soundcards found... which suggests that even though the driver is loaded, it cannot access the car (actually part of the motherboard).
