[colug-432] Sound Question

[Stephen P. Molnar]

OpenSUSE 12.1 64 bit

Yast/Sound shows three sound cards:

     0  MCP55 High Definition Audio
     1  Solo-1 Audio Adapter
     2  USB Audio

With the above order of cards the Solo-1 is the only one that produces 
sound when tested.  If I change the order and make the Solo-1 the 
primary card it becomes mute and the MCP55 card which moves index 2 
produces sound when tested.  The USB Audio card remains mute regardless 
of its index.

All of the sound devices, speakers, Amarak, etc work, with the exception 
of the microphone.  The opne exception for the microphone is the WebCam 
microphone works in Firefox if I open the Chat configuration in gmail.  
Unfortunately, Skype will only use The PulseAudio Server (local) for all 
of the sound settings.  Ringing and the Speakers work, but the 
microphone remains mute.  I have tried every setting on the PulseAudio 
server and have not managed to enable the microphone.

Several questions:

     What will I mess up if I delete the the MCP55 High Definition Audio 
and USB Audio cards in Yast?
     How can I enable the microphone?

Thanks in advance.
