So, I recently blanked my computer and installed suse 10.1 on my laptop. I used to have 10.0, sound didn't work. I even have had fedora core 5 and Ubuntu on here... STILL NO SOUND! I'm getting frustrated with this stupid thing... hours upon hours of messing around with this. I'm about to give up. I have a gateway m320 laptop and i believe it is a AC 97 card.

Here is more helpful info:
