assuming you have the latest ALSA driver installed:
add this line in /etc/modprobe.conf

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel index=0 single_cmd=1 model=laptop-eapd

maybe the file is named a little different in SuSe, I took this from Fedora.

i did what you said i should do... and now it asks for password and i can't type it in...

i need to fix my soundcard drivers so that i can use teamspeak rc2 ... i got built in mic in the screen monitor. but it does not collaborate with the software installed with linux. and i need the hardware it to do that, so i can run teamspeak... it works in windows, and not in linux,, that is so frustrating... i need to get the soundcard drivers to work proberbly.. can you help me with that little problem?

the password letters are not displayed when you type them, simply type the password and press return...

when you have added the line I posted reboot and check if the soundcard is working properly then...it seems to be a known problem with the Intel soundchip...

i think that the intel soundchip does not collaborate with linux... or in that case suse linux..
