Please try alsa-driver-kmp from OBS multimedia:audio:KMP repo. Choose the correct repository depending on the kernel you are using. See below for details: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Alsa-update

Hello, i have compiled and installed an updated alsa driver pack i downloaded from the realtek site here: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false Please note i dont think this is a "propietary" driver, it is just an updated alsa driver pack (i think it is equivalent to installing alsa-driver-kmp). I am attaching the read me file on that tar for you to see. This solved the problem. 6channel audio works in alsa, however i had to disable pulseaudio, because when it was enabled, the volume controls did not work, and i had no sound from the subwoofer channel. After i disabled pulseaudio, the system worked perfectly. Even if i no longer have the problem, i will be happy to assist in any way i can to solve this issue in opensuse. Should i still try to install the alsa-driver-kmp as you instructed? and if so, after i do, what else should i do? do you need aditional information? Please let me know what more i can do to help. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So, try OBS alsa-driver-kmp update first. You just need to install one package, and that's all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It conflicts with the update modules. Clean up them and try again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Remove this directory and its sub-directories, re-install kernel-desktop.rpm again forcibly, then re-install alsa-driver-kmp again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's a recent breakage due to the change of configure option. I fixed it now, and the package will be ready later. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks, the warnings are another typos in configure script. Fixed now. But it's anyway harmless for you, so just ignore until the next update.

About PulseAudio: it must support the surround outputs, too. Can't you change the speaker profile in pavucontrol? It should have 5.1 setup, too.

yep, i have selected 5.1 profile in pavucontrol, but i dont get any sound from the subwoofer, the slider control for subwoofer doesnt do anything, and the other sliders to change volume are all wrong, some dont work, some change other channels, etc. Also, if i try to use pavucontrol while banshee is active, banshee crashed immediately without any warning or error message. However, i do suspect this is another issue (apart from the bug i reported), because as long as i disable pulseaudio, everything works perfectly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
