Thanks Tobin, Checked snd-intel8x0 is loaded. Did rmmod and tried to insert with my compiled driver from my sources gives an error: "error inserting 'snd-intel8x0.ko' : -1 Invalid module format" Checked from Yast, my sound card is 82801G AC'97, driver snd-intel8x0 -Vinod On Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 9:45 PM, Tobin Davis <tdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > First, verify that you are working with the correct driver. lsmod will > tell you which sound drivers are loaded.
