The funny thing is the other night I had 2.6.0-test11 playing sounds as clear as could be for a while. But it has since, after miscellaneous reonfigs and reboots, reverted to making scratchy noises only. Getting toshiba specific acpi extensions, as in using the planet ccrma 2.4.2-6.ll.rh90 kernel, didn't solve the problem for me either. Perhaps SuSe tweaked the toshiba_acpi extensions? But it seems likely, still, that the toshiba specific acpi may be banging bits in registers near or overlapping the ymfpci assignments, or that there's a power saver setting that semi-mutes the sound chip. Hope this helps. I'll probably stumble through getting the alsa cvs version compiled in a day or two. - rec -- > >Greetings -- > > I was just checking on this, again, since I have yet another Tecra >8100 for Alsa to fail to work on.
