nforce 430 sound only on one channel (Suse 10.1)

[nkuehn]

Hello,
has anyone an Idea what the source of this problem may be:
My Sound works nicely, but only on the right channel. The left channel just gives an ugly high beep when sound is being played. The System is a fresh install and the headphones are okay, too.
Already tried: alsaconfig, yast (although I can't tell what to set as advanced options)

Configuration:
SuSE Linux 10.1
Asus M2NPV-VM Motherboard (AMD socket AM2)
Nvidia Nforce 430 chipset
Sound detected as: MCP51 High Definition Audio
Driver: snd-hda-intel

I would be very happy about a tip how to find out if this is a hardware or software problem and how to approach it.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

Search in the 6150 thread or the socket 939 version of your motherboard (A8N CSM). You need newer ALSA drivers...

Specifically, you need alsa 1.0.11 or higher.
