Hi,
I am a linux newbee. Have just installed opensuse 10.1 on a Lattitude X1. Installation went fine. Almost all hardware components were recognised and drivers installed. However, I have problems playing mp3 or music CDs.
I tested the sound card within yast (yast->hardware->sound->Other->volume->test) and there is a test sound. However if I want to play a music CD using KsCD or Kaffeine no sound is generated. I have thoroughly checked the KMix options and all settings seem to be appropriate.
Common problem on laptops. I think I solved it using the sound option under multimedia. You can also try running alsamixer from the console. (I've included a screenshot. Hope it comes through.) I think KMix might work as well, if you select the input tab. I don't know if Gnome has a mixer tool or a CD player. In any case, for some reason SUSE comes configured not to play CDs on laptops. Never had an issue with the desktop. Google gives me tons of results for this search. -- kai - www.perfectreign.com www.livebeans.com - the new NetBeans community 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything.
