[opensuse] How to hear Amarok playing
I'm using 10.2 and want to listen to music. Playing Amarok I see the music played but don't hear anything In YaST2 I see KT266 onboard audio is the default. The volume for CD is 67 and for PCspeakers 53. What else should I do to hear music?

I'm assuming you can hear other sounds - system and whatnot. Since I use KDE, I'll forward that solution. Go to Geeko > Multimedia > Volume Control (KMix) This will bring up your mixer application. Check to make sure all your outputs are enabled (light green as opposed to dark green) and that the volumes are turned up. Assuming this is all well and good, then open Amarok and go to Settings > Configure Amarok. Click on the Engine Icon. For your sound System drop down make sure you have something selected. I have Xine, but you can use others. For the Output plugin, if Autodetect doesn't work for you, select the appropriate plugin - alsa or oss. If this all doesn't work, then you need to go into YaST and check your sound settings there. We can revisit if needed. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Tried all you suggested, with no results. In Yast I see still KT266 onboardsound is default and the driver is snd-via82xx. Any other sugestions? Thanks, André den Oudsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Have you tried checking all your hardware connections and physical settings, as I suggested? Best regards :o) Johnny :o) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Johnny :o) Yes I did. I even checked it in XP, and it all worked well.

ATM, no. However, let's check a few things. I've deleted your original post, so bear with me if you've already answered my questions. 1. You can hear normal system sounds, right? 2. Can you play sound (ogg, wav, mp3) files in any other player? 3. You pressed, "play", right? :P 4. Is the Amarok volume turned up? Over on the right-side of the playlist window there's a volume slider. It has nothing whatsoever to do with your master volume and needs to be turned up as well. (This is similar to WinAmp, which I use on expee.) -- k -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If all the things Kai suggests fails, you may have wrong hardware settings. Start by making sure that you PC speakers' volume is turned up physically on the physical speakers. Have you turned up the volume on the CD player device? Some devices have a physical volume wheel that must be turned. Check your cabling. Have you connected the speakers to the right output on the computer? Internally, have you properly connected the CD player to the main board's audio plug?
