What version Suse and which kernel?

Not 100% sure on this but I have seen a couple of people who have
trouble with this card, are there any messages in the /var/log/ (boot,

warn, messages etc...) files.

You could try putting it in another pci slot, which slot is it in now?

( if it is in the one underneath the AGP slot then it will need moving
)

Have a look in Yast>Hardware>Hardware info and see if it is actually
an
IRQ problem, it could be something else that is causing this.

I saw a site the other day about the 24bit Audigy, apparently if you
bought it before the end of 2004 you might be in for a refund,
Creative
have acknowledged that it does not live (sic) up to the specs on the
box, here is just one site that points it out:-

I have just tryed moving my sound card to a new slot, tured my pc back

on, suse loaded and i got a message saying found new hardware, when to

install it and i got the same error as before!

when i go to yast, look at hardware info, i found my sound card,
looked
for irq,
it says:

count: 0
enabled: yes
irq: 169

io says:
active: yes
length: 32
mode: rw
start: 45056

I dont know what all that means, i hope you do!

Wel it means that it has been assigned an IRQ of 169 which I don`t
think
wil conflict with others.

I am just looking through your logs will post back after seeing if
anything is there and I have had my supper :-)

I do know that a lot of people have problems with the 24bit version
but
have not tried one myself.

I notice that the onboard sound it already loaded during boot, this is

using the via82xx module, also there are a lot of unused running
services, nfs, isdn and smbfs, are you using the powersave?

going to ask some stupid questions just to make sure I am
understanding
what I see:-

How many hard-drives do you have?

Are you using samba to talk to other windows machines on a local
network?

Same with nfs, are you talking to other linux boxes on a local
network?

Have you got anything plugged into the serial ports?

Same with the parallel port?

Quick things to do before you post back:-

If you have nothing on the serial & parallel ports disable them in the

bios, same with the SATA controller also turn off the onboard sound in

the BIOS ( to free up the IRQ`s and stuff just incase of conflicts )

If you are not using samba or nfs then use Yast>System>Runlevel Editor

and go to Expert mode and disable them from running by clicking on
them
and un-checking the runlevel numbers below ( this will not cure the
sound but will stop un-used services from running.

Try and boot and see if it makes any difference, if not reboot and
enter
acpi=off at the first grub boot screen ( the one with the countdown
marker, just start typing and you will see it appear in the box half
way down the screen ) see if that makes any difference.

Hopefully it might fix it.

HTH

Did booting with the acpi=off make any difference?

Also you could try to use alsaconf, as root in a console run:-

alsaconf

and see if it will configure the card or post any errors please, I
have
got to go out for a while but will be back later.
