I read somewhere that it was caused by a missing kernel module (soundcore.ko) which I built following instructions provided on the Alsa bug report web page but same [lack of] result alas.
The sound card is of type ICH8 which is not listed on their list of supported cards.
I have tried the latest version of the snapshot (ftp://ftp. suse.com/ pub/projects/ alsa/snapshot/ driver/ alsa-driver- hg20080501. tar.bz2) and the result is still the same, i.e. no sound at all on my Lenovo X300.

Where to look at at this stage???
Any [more] hint welcome :-)
