The "event sounds" play just fine, but whatever application I try and play a CD with just runs the timer without any sound. It's funny, the old Soundblaster ISA card worked fine, it's the newer motherboard integrated AC-97 that isn't happy. > > I couldn't figure it out either.

Once you have verified that the cable is indeed in place, you need to verify that the 'sound' mixer has a volume setting and isn't muted for the cd sound input. If you still don't have sound, then you have to begin the process of tracking the problem down via modules - I got the impression that SuSE handles all of this for you. Craig
