I finally got around to doing as you said.  It took about 20

/snip/

Now that I did what Rajko said, and it didn't work, I went to the
help file on the net, "SDB:AudioTroubleshooting" and made things
worse.  I still get a musical noise when the screen first comes
to life at bootup, but now a configuration in the troubleshooting
guide doesn't work anymore:  speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
used to produce a voice that said "front left  front right" etc.,
according to which speaker it activated.  That doesn't sound anymore.
I have checked the mxr settings, and everything is turned up to about
70%.

Using the instructions, Step 3, I created an "alsa-info.txt.v1GkAKPL25
file in the /tmp/ directory, which, when printed, runs to 17 pages.
I could send it as an email to anyone who is willing to decode it and
see what it means.  (It appears to be written in a mixture of English
and something like C.)  It may actually be stored in
www.alsa-project.org as I believe the file was uploaded to that location.

The codec that it finds is ALC655.  That seems to be a valid number.

In step 4 of the instructions, it references Zypper.  Zypper shows
on my screen, but does not do anything, as far as I can tell.
Nothing happens when I snap on the icon. I did follow the instructions
to restart the alsa driver, but that seems to do nothing useful.

I just noticed that I no longer have a speaker icon in the tray,
so I don't know what the mxr is set for anymore.  Things just go
from bad to terrible.

So, what now, experts?

Thanx in advance--doug
