[QCLUG] SuSE 10.2 on notebox, new setup

[j.brun@mchsi.com]

Sound (in SuSE) problems usually are at the config stage.  You can usually go 
to Yast and re-run the sound card detection and see what it does.  Also, the 
volumn and PCM will almost always need adjustment.  (PCM especially).  On 
occasion with older versions of SuSE I have run into sound card conflicts.  
These usually will dissapear by removing the sound card (software remove via 
Yast) - rebooting, and then running Yast and letting if find the card again.

The reboot works best for me when during the reboot process, I go to the bios 
and select the "reset configuration" or some such thing in the bios. This is 
found in the section that discussed whether or not you have a PnP aware 
operating system.
