I am trying to get a media center built, based on SuSE 10.3, and am
running into a snag that is rather annoying that involves the sound card

Dear Marc,
Whenever I run into problems with my soundcard (different from yours
but..) I use alsaconf, let it run, give it the input requested and are up
and running.

Thanks Constant - I guess I didn't mention that running alsaconf is
another path I have tried... I been down quite a few paths so far, hard
to summarize em all...LOL... Anywise alsaconf seems to sort of help...
It does not get the sound system up an running immediately but when I
reboot it "seems" as if the Audigy Pro 4 card is selected but then
subsequent reboots will bring back the Conexant CX8801 as the selected
sound "card/chip" I wish I could understand this well enough so that I
could get the sound card configure well enough to immediately test it to
see if it is working or not... But the only way I have found so far is
to try something and then reboot and until I have rebooted several times
I do not know if I fixed the problem or not.... And Alsaconf apparently
does not fix it permanently....

I think I have a very similar problem but with different hw: motherboard with
integrated audio, an SB Live card and a USB webcam with a built-in mic. In my
case I can usually see the integrated device and the webcam but not the SB
Live card. I tried to simplify the situation and unplugged the webcam. Since
then I get both of the other devices working consistently, with each reboot.
So my suggestion: try and boot without your USB receiver and see what
happens. Another suggestion: instead of rebooting, try "rcalsasound restart"
as root - in my case, this usually made the SBLive card appear and the webcam
disappear.
