Thanks Stefan. I finally got it working late last night. For whatever 
reason, when I first configured it, it wasn't configured for a sound 
card, although it was listed. I just blew the hardware config away un 
Yast and started over. Sound is working now. But as always, theres 
somethine else, all the channels are only in black and white, no color.
