Congratulations on sorting this ! … and thankyou for sharing your solution.
I’m hopefully that openSUSE-11.2 (now at RC1) when released will allow for easier audio card setup. 11.2 will have 1.0.21 of alsa included with the kernel, where the autoprobe detection of 1.0.21 of alsa is significantly superior to 1.0.17/1.0.18 of alsa
Good luck with the webcam. … Ahh … whats a micro ?
I’m looking forward for 11.2. I had a first test with the RC on my private desktop, but had such problems with the data quality I downloaded, that I went back to 11.1

I installed (clean install) RC1 this weekend. I have the same Intel chip
set on my desktop. Initially no sound. I found all volumes at 0 in configure
desktop → multimedia. Also the installed backends were xine and pulse
audio. I removed most of the pulse audio stuff. This changed backends to
xine and gstreamer. I use xine. Sound works fine now.
In particular, to test, please open a terminal and type:
arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav
and then adjust your mixer settings to try to get your mic to work.
If you have no success, you could set up your mixer in the manner that you believe is necessary for it to function, and then run again the diagnostic script: /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
and post here the output URL. Just the URL.
