Intel 82801G Sound Issues

[Dazed_75]

How very strange.  I remember now in all the reading I did someone else
reporting an alternating condition (though I forget what it was).  I can
tell you for sure that I did total shutdown a number of times, but I cannot
be certain that any of those times was from windows which is the only time
that machine ever made a sound of any kind.

I don't think I reported it, but about 40% of the time, SUSE would go to a
black screen after I saw the console line for login rather than getting to
the graphic login.  Just on a hunch I did a Ctl-Alt-F1 and got the console
followed by a Ctl-Alt-F7 which displayed thr graphic login.  This was
repeatable every time the system seemed to hang on a black screen at
startup.

Definitely some hinky stuff there somewhere.
