Aye, it's this business of you and Martin having your motherboard
sound working out of the box, whereas mine didn't .. I had silence and
Yast reported no sound modules. So I'm just thinking something else
might just have the tweak I need.

Ultimately if we can't get it solved I'll escalate to a Usenet query
in alt.os.linux.suse and see if someone who knows Suse well has any
ideas. Maybe only if that fails I'll try Ubuntu or Mepis .. that's the
overall plan.

I'll get the latest SUSE updates while I'm pondering.

At least I'm getting to understand what all this
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surround_sound> is about.
