That said, usually such problem come from some mixer entry muted
jdd jdd: Thanks for your help. But the mixer is not muted. Now I suggest that you change the list topic to limit the discussion to multimedia creation only in http://lists.opensuse.org as it currently says:opensuse-multimedia English "Discussion about multimedia in the openSUSE distribution" I feel my asking for help with a broken Amarok (multimedia application) and a broken sound system sub component is with in the current guide lines of this list. But in order to avoide conflict I will take this problem to another list. And I wiil remember the unfrendlyness of this distributions mailing lists when I begin

Well, first off, most apps shouldn't use /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer. These are OSS devices. So, if any, check /dev/snd/* files. Secondly, the device permissions are controlled in two ways: normal Unix file permissions and ACL in addition. In recent distros, the permissions for desktop users are added/removed dynamically via ACL using ConsoleKit. Check the output of "getfacl /dev/snd/*" As the last (but really unrecommended) resort, you can put your id into audio group to allow the access permanently. In this case, don't forget to re-login.
