I reinstalled opensuse 11 and I have know sound. this isnt a surprise because my sound card using the OSS driver which I am wanting to avoid this time around. So I went to Matrix:Vendor-Asus - AlsaProject checked on my driver but noticed that that My sound card ( Xonar DX ) requires ALSA 1.0.18rc3 or kernel 2.6.26.4 , I cannot find the that alsa driver at least that version that I can install. SO I guess I have to update the Kernal.
after I update the kernal do I have to reinstall my fglrx drivers?
ok so I found the drivers and installed them but my sound card still isn’t working.
I have followed these instructions Alsa-update - openSUSE, SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
then I used this manual to install the newest drivers Matrix:Module-virtuoso - AlsaProject, this is the output of tsalsa tsalsa.txt - nopaste.com (beta),
here are some more outputs

and I have played around with different combinations /etc/modprobe.d/sound file
the finally I renamed the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file and then did su -c ‘modprobe snd-virtuoso’ again and this time
it came back with know errors . not sure what that means and I hope that someone here can help me out

Oops sorry about that
I am wondering how I report this to opensuse or novel because there should be a way for this to work according to the guide. unless I have to totally uninstall all alsa then just install what the guide says.
Well, I confess to having written the guide, but I don’t have your sound hardware, and hence its difficult for me to make suggestions wrt to the many things I would try. I do note there is supposed to be support for your hardware in the latest alsa.
You could raise a bug report, you could find guidance to do so here for openSUSE:
Submitting Bug Reports - openSUSE
and here for alsa:

ok I did it again reinstalled and this time I am trying from the very begining
I am getting errors from “./configure --with-cards=virtuoso --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install”
ok everything is ok until this point on

ok after reading this over a few times I figured out that I needed the kernel source.
now I am stuck again here

I thought that it was asking for modules so I installed the modules from yast but that didn’t fix the problem
