I am begging for someone to please help me with this sound issue! I am running SuSE 9.0 and I have no sound. When I try to play an MP3 in xmms, the file plays, but I get no output. I have opened alsamixer and made sure nothing is muted. I am running alsa 0.9.8-0.pm.0.

Pleading, not begging. You are a linux operator, chin-up. try from the command line, sudo /usr/sbin/rcalsasound status if it reports 'running', do: sudo /usr/sbin/rcalsasound restart if it reports 'unused', do: sudo /usr/sbin/rcalsasound start report back.... -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

I am not an expert but I have the same problem and, with the help of the mailinglist, the solution for me was to enable "Digital audio extraction" in the configuration of the "CD Audio Player" input plugin.

I have been searching for days trying to find a solution. All I have found is that a lot of people are having similar problems with different versions of SuSE. I have tried some of the suggestions, but nothing has worked.

Please, please, please help. And thank you.

I have included the following information in this post.

System Information lspci output ls -l /dev/dsp* /proc/pci

I can post /proc/modules and /etc/modules.conf if needed.

Here is what I have ...
