[ale] Sound of Silence

[Cor van Dijk]

I run a dual boot SuSE8.2 and SuSE9.2 on a ASUS P4P800SE mobo
with an Intel ICH5 built-in soundcard.

The sound works fine on SuSE8.2, but does not even start on SuSE9.2.
The BIOS reports the presence of a soundcard, no problem there.
Interrupts and ioports for the "card" appear to be the same on both os's.
I have tried rebuilding hardware sound from scratch with yast.
I have tried the "options" for the AC'97 sound configuration.
I have posted a message to SuSE, received automated response.
So far no luck with any of these.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Cor van Dijk.
