There are two classic reasons for "no sound":
[2.] - the hardware enumerates such that some digital output (HDMI, SPDIF) gets to become the first and default output over Analog, which gets you sound, but not at the jack you probably expected it to come out of.
So please check whether this is the case - possibly with interactive help (e.g. IRC) if needed
Just open up `alsamixer` with no arguments, which shows (the tuning knobs of) the device configured to be "default".
Or look at /proc/asound/cards.
For enlightenment i'm much happier with pulse as the sound server as it has proper integration with e's mixer but yes opening alsa mixer shows that the hdmi interface is setup as the default and I probably could mess with it to get it working without pulse but pulse will do for now for the reasons mentioned above.
When I had that problem, Takashi Iwai suggested I put
options snd-hda-intel index=1,0
into /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf. It worked, without installing more rpms.
Thanks for the idea but the point here is as the enlightenment maintainer I want people to have working audio in enlightenment without editing a conf file, as enlightenment is already being built with pulse audio support the number of additional rpm's was somewhere around 5 which is a number i'm ok with when taking into consideration the scope of other packages that get recommended with enlightenment. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adeliade Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
