[Novalug] AC97 Sound

[Dan Arico]

I just got done upgrading from SUSE 9.3 to OpenSUSE 10.2 on this machine. 
Everything is working except my sound volume is lower than it was 
before. It uses AC97 on the motherboard for sound output.

I've cranked the volume up all the way in the mixer, but I still need to 
turn my speaker volume to max to get any decent sound volume. One thing 
I noticed that was different - Under 9.3, The sound driver was listed as 
an odd driver for strange hardware, while 10.2 had an actual driver for 
AC97.

Anybody have an idea for something I can tweak? Do you think using a 
sound card in a PCI slot would help?
