Chipset: nVIDIA nForce3 250 Gb, 8-Channel C-Media Audio. * Single chip C-Media
CMI8768. SUSE identified an installed CMI8738 with driver snd-cmipci. Everything
seams to be ok but no sound. amixer and alsamixer tells me that PCM and Synth
are muted and they can not be unmuted. If I try to start Control Center ->
Soundsystem in KDE i get the error message that "Unable to start the sound
server to retrieve possible sound I/O methods.
Only automatic detection will be available." I've tried alsaconfig and it says
that everytging it's ok but the test sound can not be heard. My soundcard works
in Windows XP (dualboot), Have installed SUSE again but the problem remains
