Hi,

I'm running SuSE 9.3 on a DELL Inspiron 8500 notebook with all updates
applied with fou4s.

--> I have no problem with the sound module snd_intel8x0. The only
thing I had problems with were the permissions of /dev/dsp. They were
root:audio 644 but I needed to change this to root:audio 666 (xmms
produced an errror message

** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp):
Permission denied

Bye,
Armin
