I get no sound using OpenSuse 10.3 on an HP Pavillion DV9825 laptop. The sound
works under Vista. There is a touch switch above the keyboard that mutes the
sound output. When muted, it turns orange; otherwise it is blue. When SuSe is
loading, the switch starts out blue, then turns orange. Touching it thereafter
does not change it back to blue. Any suggestions?

Further information:
1. I think the switch turns orange at the same point the following appears in
the startup log:

<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2333: autoconfig: line_outs=1
(0x14/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2337: speaker_outs=0 (0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2341: hp_outs=1 (0x15/0x0/0x0/0x0/0x0)
<7>ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:2349: inputs: mic=0x18, fmic=0x19,
line=0x0, fline=0x0, cd=0x0, aux=0x0

2. The sound card is listed as "82801H (ICH8 Family) Audio Controller",
snd-card-0, driver snd-hda-intel. Options: position_fix = 0, single_card = 0, model =
blank.

Help is appreciated, as I purchased this computer specifically to do an audio
project!


Lewis, from Konsole, su to root and then run: alsaconf

This may setup the card properly. Then, check the volumes with any mixer while playing an audio file.
