Hi Richard - For the moment I'm using the speakers built into the monitor, the volume is set at 50%, and that's plenty loud on the windows side. I've elected to also plug in a very high quality set of headphones and there is nothing playing through them either. In both cases the CD plays at a substantial volume with winders. The volume control aspect is not a stupid one as I just went through that with a friend who couldn't get any sound; his vol was at zero. Sadly, that's not the problem this time around. Speakers are not usb driven to my knowledge as they are built into the monitor. ALL the control programs I can find installed show the sound vol as being wherever I put it and for now everything is set above 50%. Alsaconfig says all is right in the world also, but I still hear nothing. BIOS is set to use the integrated mobo sound and it works again with winders. I don't find anything in common with the BIOS and YaST2 save the identification of the sound system. Is there something specific to which you are making referenc?. YaST2 also says all is well and that I should be enjoying sound. Perhaps I should try hooking up an externally powered set of speakers to see if that makes any difference, although I can't see how it would since the headphones produce no output with 8.2 but do with winders. dave Richard wrote:

So with startup showing sound loaded, YaST2 saying all is well but not playing a test sound at any volume setting, nothing muted that I can find, and all the sound related progrms set to 75 - 90%, and still not getting sound onn the Linux side of th box, where should I looknext?
Dave:
Have you checked the volume control on your speakers? It may sound like a stupid question but once someone, probably me, turned my volume down and I looked for a while before I realized that was the problem. Doesnt hurt to check.
Another thought, are your speakers driven by USB? If yes, does the usb see the speakers? If you fire up kmixer do you see all the controls for the sound card/chip?
Can you go into your BIOS and look at the settings for your sound card? If yes, make sure the settngs you make with YAST2. match the BIOS settings.
