Hi there! After using ubuntu without problem for some time, I decided to try KDE, so I tried first Kubuntu, and now opensuse. In both Kubuntu and opensuse I find the same problem. I install the system and everything works fine at first run. But then, I install all the updates, and after rebooting, the audio doesn't work anymore. I tried a troubleshooting guide from opensuse, but still can't fix it, in loudspeakers and in headphones. Anyone with the same problem? Any idea of how to solve it or which could be the conflictive update, in order to skip it? Thanks a lot!

Let us know a little more about your system. What hardware do you have? What version of opensuse/kde are you installing.

Configure Desktop better known as kcontrol and select sound & multimedia > Sound System. Then under the hardware tab select audio device, either Advanced linux sound system or auto detect, then try the test sound button under the general tab. I've found that playing with this has restored my sound in the past. I don't know if you've tried kmix open mixer yet and check your volume levels, mute settings and other switches?

Problem solved. I checked more carefully in KMix, Output tab, the Font was mute. Is it possible that any update did this? As I explained initially, the sound was working with a fresh installation of Kunbuntu 8.10 and opensuse 11.0, kde 3.5, but stopped working after applying all the updates.
