I'm a fairly new Linux user who is completely new to Opensuse. I have recently installed the Gnome desktop version of Opensuse 10.3 to an old Compaq Presario desktop computer that also can boot up in Windows 2000.
When I login the desktop icon for the volume control has a red X. When I click on it I get the following error message: "This volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed or that you don't have a sound card configured."
The YaST sound configuration window shows that the ESS1988 Allegro-1 was configured as sound card number 0. It also lists the driver as snd_maestro3. So that seems like the card is being found.
Most bizarre to me is that in the login window when my cursor is in the empty field in which to type my user name, I can hit the backspace key and get a healthy beep out of the speakers as if the sound card is correctly configured and ready to work and somehow the login process disrupts that, because after logging in I can get no sound whatsoever out of the speakers.
I'm looking for any suggestions and I'm willing to provide any information that would be helpful. Please remember that I am something of a beginner, so please try to keep that in mind when advising me. Thank you.
Gene Anderson in Taiwan Hi Gene,
I'm betting all works fine if you log in as root? Have you checked your system.log (/var/log/messages) for any resmgr errors?

Dear Tambun and others: I finally took you advice and installed the KDE version of Opensuse 10.3, but I ended up with the same problems. I can't seem to get any further advice from the mail-list, so I have installed Ubuntu instead. It seems simpler to install, but it seems many details have to be worked out post-installation whereas Opensuse puts most of the configuration details out front for the installer to decide. I'll keep my Opensuse discs and try them later on another machine. Gene -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
