kernel-lib sources are installed).

So I tried a Muse (Yamaha) and could not find a driver that would install.

Not I'm trying Sound Blaster SB Live! 5.1 Model SB0100 and still no
drivers. Why can't there be a basic sound blaster driver that works to
do simple sound with any versioin? I have no intention of using beyond
2 channels out and one in.

I even tried a a mVox MV100 usb speaker & mic with built in DSP & echo
suppression. It works fine with Skype on Windows, but Skype on Linux
won't talk to it. I assumed that this is because of the lack of a
working sound card.

Hi John,

What version of SUSE you are using?

The onboard card should work, as well as most of Sound Blaster.
The VIA VT8233/A/823/8237 AC97 is supported. It worked for me an all SUSE
installations since SUSE 9.1.

Why you are trying to find driver from Asus? The VIA driver is opensource
and it can happen that SUSE has newer driver that doesn't need compilation.

Have you tried to use YaST Control Center -- Hardware -- Sound?
The only thing that might be added is audio mixer to enable sound, but in
most of the versions YaST will do that for you.
