Try running alsaconf as root and follow the instructions. Never used Suse, so I don't know if they use alsa drivers or not.

That was the first place I looked. They have nothing, even though they have a selection for Linux.
I believe I found a driver. The issue I am having is the process required to install it and get everything up and running.

This is going to sound mind-numbingly simple, but have you made sure that the volume controls on the mixer panel are turned up? I thought that my sound was screwed up after an upgrade; but, it turned out that the volume controls had been reset to zero.
A useful site is LinuxQuestions.org...

It's silly actually, but this is making me feel kind of dumb. I really am looking forward to seeing what this thing can do... just need to figure out where all the settings are located, and which ones to use for which purpose.

That reminds me, will Linux present special problems on a laptop?
Should get my new Thinkpad next week.

I hope you realize that I am a Linux newbie TODAY, and was speaking in generic terms.

If you are new to linux and now have a brand spankin' new installation to play around with, I'd strongly suggest exploring the directory /usr/docs and subdirectories there. Over the course of a month or two, spend your evenings reading the various HOWTO files. Yes, it will eat into your freeptime, but it will pay off in the long run. Thusly you will come to understand your system and its quirks. Hardware configurations by hand frustrate newcomers but reading newsgroups and googling for fixes is a great way to go. By the way, of the myriad of reasons to use linux usually cited, the one that usually gets left off is "fun".

Can you add AshfieldK to your ping? He's my hubby, it'll be okay with him. He always manages to miss out on the tech threads.
