    I recently installed SuSE 9.2 on my AMD64 machine that runs a Creative
    Soundblaster (Model SB0400) Audigy 2 Value. I've updated through YOU to the
    latest kernel. YaST can't configure the soundcard so I contacted the
    alsa-user list and a poster said that I needed the latest version of Alsa
    since support for this card was just added.

    My questions are as follows:
    1. I have to recompile the alsa kernel modules. When I went to the Alsa site,
    there were six or seven items I could download, but it was not clear which I
    need to get sound for gaming and music playback to work. Is the driver
    module all I need?

    2. I assume that I need to uninstall the alsa components that YaST installed
    originally, right?

    3. Does anybody have any other pointers that might help me get this done?

    I asked these questions on the alsa-user list, but got no response, so I
    thought I'd try here. Also, I'm still kind of green at doing this kind of
    work, so I want to be sure that I don't hose something up in the process.

    thanks for the help.
