This is NOT a volume setting problem that we are having. This is some
other wonky issue. Maybe a bug in artsd or alsa? I don't know. What
I do know is
- It's not a volume setting thing.
- It will mysteriously start working at some point (almost everyone
who's reported this problem on the various SuSE groups has had it
start working again, but without any indication why).
- Nothing you change in the settings seems to have any affect on the
problem... including playing with the sound settings in YAST and in
Kcontrol.
My system is once again without sound. It was working.. then it
stopped. I tinkered for hours trying to find out what's wrong...
nothing I did made any difference. They after one of many many
reboots it started working. I worked on other things for a while and
managed to screw up my kernel modules so much (tinkering and playing
with recompiles just to see what 9.3 can do) that I decided that it
was easier to reinstall than to try to back out my changes. After the
reinstall... no sound again. Nothing I've done since will get it
working again either.
Seriously annoying.
