SuSE 8.2 questions

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Just a few:

1. It seems the sound system in 8.2 is ALSA. As I understand it, ALSA
always starts with sound muted. When I run alsamixer, it seems that SuSE is
turning off the mute. However, I get no sound. It seems all drivers for my
sound card are loaded. Previously on this hardware OSS worked. The ESS
Maestro chip set id supported by ALSA. Any pointers?
