Hi -
I just upgraded my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 8100, to SuSE 10.0 from 9.2 and now my sound is no longer functioning properly. When I boot up, KMix comes up with a red X across it's icon in the systray and does not present any volume controls or work. I did some searching on the internet and found one person saying to run alsaconf and this I did. That seems to partially restore my sound for some applications and if I restart KMix after doing so it works. But other applications, such as GAIM continue to not produce sound, so this remedy seems to only partially succeed.
YAST reports under Hardware > Sounds that I am using an ESS Maestro3 PCI Card Model. When I try to "Edit" its configuration however I get a blank screen and can do nothing with making or setting any sort of configuration settings.. I don't know if this is expected/normal behavior for this sound card, but it seems rather odd to me...
Any suggestions or help as to how I should proceed with getting my sound system working will be greatly appreciated of course! ;-) Marc....
Did you try deleting the sound card item and rebooting? If it's not auto-detected, go back into YaST and add it. Steven
