Hi there- I have been fighting this sound problem to frustration and need some help. I have sound when playing CD's, but no sound when playing mp3s or wavs. How do I set up sound do its fully functional? Thanks much - pt Hoping the following might give needed information SUSE 8.0 AC97 Audio controller (only reference to a sound card I can find) Part of system log, sorry if its information overload.
