sound problems ...

hello,

i get no sound with gnome or kde (sometimes an awful noise at an error 
message in kde) even though the install and test sounds work. sound 
works fine from the command line with mpg123. i tried the solution in 
the SDB (muted sound etc in 9.1) and it didn't work

running 9.1 pro x86_64 (already submitted a query  to that mailing list) 
with a soundblaster audigy. runs fine in slackware 10 x86 (kernel 2.6.7) 
and mandrake 10 x86 (kernel 2.6.3, i think it's a 2.6 kernel at any rate)

no reply from suse support yet., i bought a copy that supposedly has 3 
months support? thanks
