There seems to be 2 sound cards on board :
# lspci
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4200]
I installed 2 instances of SuSE 11.4 because of debugging init.d issues and then accidentally uninstalled pulseaudio in one of these installations, I reinstalled it but sound never came back.
The errors in /var/log/messages as above posted. I guess modprobe or something I need to load snd-hda-intel but don’t know how to.:\
The debugging that led to breaking sound was this (FYI):
11.4 troubled boots
