Try to boot in runlevel 3 (pass a boot option "3")

Not muted.

After checking this, boot in runlevel 5.

Not muted (while displaying the KDM login screen). After logging in to KDE3, the sound is muted again.

Also, are you using pulseaudio? There seems a problem with PA and KDE backend.

# ps aux |grep -i pulse cb 5691 0.0 0.3 90756 3704 ? Ssl 12:28 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start Looks like I do use it (but not intentionally ;-) - at least it is running. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The sound was muted instantly, and I got this on stdout: W: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but not allowed by policy. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've got many other similar reports, and this really seems related with PA. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The result is interesting! Could you try to uninstall pulseaudio-esound-compat and pulseaudio-module-* packages again, and check that the mute problem doesn't occur? I just want to be sure that this doesn't come from any config file updates or so. Then could you figure out which one is affecting, by simply installing one after one? My bet is pulseaudio-module-x11. BTW, libpulsecore4 is integrated into pulseaudio.rpm itself now, so there shouldn't be any extra package. Please check it to be sure, too. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I hope I can still reproduce the bug on the old laptop and will test the updated packages there in the next days. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
