Been using suse since version 5.x (yes that long). I updated from suse to opensuse 10.3 (sorry I am broke:). Everything works in my machine: bluetooth, ipod, printer. I moved to 11.1 (I was not able to update to 11.0 at the time because when I tried the installer will go in an infinite loop).
In 11.1: bluetooth does not work, ipod does not work (found that the bluetooth stack was broken same with ipod) then I hear about 11.2. I tried to update (in hope that all the issues where fixed) Updated the system tried to boot and fails: The reason was that was using USB to try to boot a SATA drive. Which I can tell you will not work >:(
Use the rescue system and I can boot the machine, but there is not a single USB (so the printer can not work) It can not see the video card properly (works only in reduced mode 1200x800 16bit) no sound (asound just fails). Tried to install a new kernel and same. I just went back to 11.0 oh well waiting for 11.3
Next time you try, and you have a sound problem, please post before going back and I suspect I may be able to help get your sound to work. There is a LOT more than just “asound” when it comes to testing and getting sound to work.
Sad story.
I think, if you had posted your problems here…I am sure you could get some help, here a lot of gurus around who can offer help like oldcpu, swerdna, Carl and others.
