4.3 Configuration of the Soundchip

YAST detects the soundchip correctly, but fails to setup a working configuration. The current ALSA driver is required.

The system detected the soundchip without problems.
lspci -v reported:
00:00.1 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82440MX AC'97 Audio Controller
    Subsystem: Citicorp TTI QSound_SigmaTel Stac97 PCI Audio
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 9      I/O ports at 1000 [size=256]
    I/O ports at 1800 [size=64]


But with kernel 2.4 I could only get some scratches out of the speaker...


I upgraded to kernel 2.6, downloaded the current ALSA driver package (alsa-driver-1.0.3) and compiled the applicable driver with:
./configure --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-sequencer=yes --with-oss=yes
make
make install

After running
alsaconf
and accepting the suggested installation, everything worked fine.
