Opensuse 12.2 Intel-hda won't configure

English Multimedia

I have a new computer (Dell 660s) I use for a media pc. I am currently dual booting as Linux can not configure the sound card.

In yast it has the card listed as 'Not configured Intel Corporation" and when I attempt to do a Normal or any setup I get this error
“The kernel module snd-hda-intel for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.”

Googling that error message has yielded no successful answers.

This is my kernel

Linux Guienevere 3.7.6-2.10-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 9 14:40:28 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Not sure that I can help as much as I’d like, but maybe start by reviewing this audio_troubleshooting guide and run the diagnostic script mentioned there. (You can post the link to the information it generates here.) It might also be worth examining /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf, and if you want to start over delete (or rename it), then try configuring with YaST again.

What was the problem with running the standard 12.2 kernel-desktop?

Alsa script

Running SMP kernel as my processor has multiple cores.

Sorry, but are you saying that you were unable to boot with the default desktop kernel, because it completely failed with your chipset? I was wondering if snd-hda-intel module ever got loaded with the normal kernel.

Maybe you could do better with 12.3 now at RC2 available to download, and has a 3.7.9 kernel with newer alsa lib at 1.0.26
