OK, sometime in the last week or so sound on my system has stopped
working. I suspect is has to do with one of the security patches (I seem
to recall two kernel patches in the last few weeks?), but am not sure.
I've tried unistalling the driver and reinstalling. I think I'm already
running the latest version of ALSA (I compiled and installed myself
since the sound wasn't working with the older version included with SuSE
9.0). I've been poking around with this for a bit no with no luck! :(
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
OK, the info:
I'm running SuSE 9.0 on an Asus A7V600 motherboard with an Athalon 2800
CPU.
I've been using the integrated sound controller, ADI 1980 (AC'97
compliant codec).
I'm using ALSO V1.0.4 - I've reinstalled ALSA since noticing my sound
stopped working.
I don't get any system sounds at all, nor does realplayer8 work. In
fact, real player seems to hang now when it starts.
However, KSCD plays music cd's just fine!
YaST reports that the driver is running fine. Unistalling the driver and
restarting the sound module, YaST shows the card in it's detected list.
Reinstalling the driver causes no errors, but trying the tests produces
no sound.
This system is only a little more than a month old. However, I was using
this sound controller with this install of SuSE successfully for a few
weeks. I've also rebooted into XP to game, and the sound works fine
still under windows, so neither the controller nor speakers have
suffered a failure.
Here are some messages in /var/log/warn generated at the same time which
seem to be related to snd. However I have been unable to replicate these
messages with >modprobe snd-via82xx or by launching realplayer on an
audio stream.

This has happened to me sometimes w/ my laptop. Here's what I do: * check the volume control dial... Sometimes pulling the laptop from its bag turns the volume all the way down. * sometimes after an online update, I have to run gamix to turn the master volume back on and turn my mic back on. (I lost 2 lectures worth of stuff over this one) On Wed, 12 May 2004 12:41pm, Sean Quinlan wrote:

OK, I know I tried adjusting the volumes with some other tool under KDE
(exactly which escapes me), as well as the YaST sound modules volume
controls, with no luck. However running gamix did show a master volume
set to 0, and raising that fixed my problem.
Many many thanks!
