This is more of a minor annoyance, but in the last couple of Tumbleweed updates YaST has lost at least some of its sound configuration capabilities.
It reports “C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller” which uses the “snd-hda-intel” module. Doing “modinfo snd-hda-intel” yields the following:
description: Intel HDA driver

...]
parm: index:Index value for Intel HD audio interface. (array of int)

parm: model:Use the given board model. (array of charp)
parm: position_fix:DMA pointer read method.(-1 = system default, 0 = auto, 1 = LPIB, 2 = POSBUF, 3 = VIACOMBO, 4 = COMBO, 5 = SKL
+, 6 = FIFO). (array of int)

Previously, going to the YaST sound module and selecting “Advanced setup with possibility to change options” would then show a page which showed all the “parm” options with the ability to change them.
Now, selecting the same in YaST gives “There are no options for this module”
YaST in Leap 15.1 shows all the expected options.
I don’t know if this is a regression or a deprecation.
Or some weird quirk in my current setup.
