    I posted this to the amd64 list, but am not getting any results yet, so I'll
    repost is here. Hopefully the problem is not specific to amd64, but some know
    behavior in which alsaconfig modifies some config file/permissions I can't
    seem to be able to trace.

    I had my SB Audigy 2 ZS almost completely working (a couple of games were
    giving me trouble), but I decided (quite regretfully) to manually run
    alsaconf. As a result I get no sound output now. Even running yast2 sound
    again, and rebooting. All cable connections were rechecked, and volumes in
    kmix and alsamixer and in my speakers are up.

    yast finds the card and everything. But everytime I try to test the volume
    nothing happens. No audio apps seem to be working.

    This is stock SuSE 9.2 64bit, completely patched.
    The card's IRQ is 185.

    I'd really appreciate some help. TIA.

    My /etc/modprobe.d/sound:

    options snd-emu10k1 enable=1 extin=0x3fff extout=0x7fff index=0 \
    max_buffer_size=128 max_synth_voices=64 seq_ports=4
    # qnJ_.9jPiZAnlR97:SB Audigy 2 ZS (SB0350)
    alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1

    The module options are
    from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt, and they
    were working before I decided to run alsaconf.

    These are some log messages I found that could be related:
