A brute force fix would be to get rid of SUSE and install RedHat8 which has really good auto-config of sound(and everything else). There are two types of sound drivers: OSS and ALSA. OSS is older, simpler. ALSA is newer and more complex and is now in the new development kernels. SUSE is the home of ALSA development, most other distributions still use OSS driver package. Looks like you've got a misconfiguration or bug in ALSA drivers. Let us know what the following says: lspci cat /etc/modules.conf lsmod You can google for AC97, SUSE, ALSA, (substream != ((void *)0)) to dig deeper.
