I'm just trying to use audio on a relatively new PC (so I can hear a utoob video) and just get silence. What's the best source for a walk through of the steps needed to configure audio on Leap 42.1? The only pages I've found are for earlier releases so I don't know whether they are valid.
YaST says I have:
Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller
neither of which are configured.
Apologies for replying to myself, but nobody at all knows anything about configuring audio? I find that surprising!
Apparently few do. One who does is Takashi Iwai. I was only able to stumble through 42.1 setup on my Haswell because of his help. I meant to reply yesterday with https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2016-10/msg00425.html when I first saw this, but got sidetracked.
His comment 8 of the bug referenced there might be the place to start, as it was key for me.
Thanks Felix, I'll try to work through that lot.
Hmm, I'm just getting frustrated. I added options snd index=1,0 to /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf and rebooted. YaST says what I believe to be the analogue is controller 0 but Play Test Sound still is silent. My alsa-info is at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=c4a1a88ae57352ff451ae2bab0937d502f9d5f5b Hopefully somebody can make sense of it. I don't have pulse installed. The two 'cards' are both on the motherboard. Anybody know if Mint or Knoppix handle audio any better out of the box?
