Sound in my 10.2x64 Pavilion 6325us lappie works on:
1. boot/shutdown suse music
2. amarok (streaming from the web)

but these don't work:
1. web browser sounds (youtube, online webgames, etc.)
2. Audacity can't find an output device (in the preferences menu, the output device stays blank)

I think it's a driver problem because my laptop has MCP51 audio and that's an nVidia product, but it claims to be HP!! Can anyone give me an idea how to install the right drivers for this unit.

THANKS!
Patti

EDIT: OK, I found where to delete the existing soundcard (sets it to "not configured") and add another one - this time I chose nVidia MCP51 (HDA) which seemed to do OK. What does "start sequencer" mean? Now Audacity gives me the choice of OSS: /dev/dsp and ALSA: HDA NVidia: HDA Generic (hw:0,0). This is beginning to look kinda familiar, but not enough so I can figure it out yet. When I choose ALSA, Audacity gives an error when I try to record - when I choose OSS, it hangs when I try to record. Hmmm... do I need to install ALSA or something...
