SUSE 9.3 was the last version I could get the built-in soundcard to work with. Actually it worked out of the box.
Hi Andreas, Out of curiosity, did you perform 'fresh' installations or upgrade over existing systems? Three possible 'repairs' that have worked well for many people... all culled from the SLE archves, by the way. (Notes: If it isn't obvious, you want to open a shell and try these with your desktop running. Run 'foo' means without the quotes.) 1. Check if more than one mixer is running (not desired!): * run 'ps ax | grep mix' * kill all mixers by process ID * example: 'kill 12345' * experiment with each mixer, one at a time, to see if that cleared up a resource conflict. * if one mixer works, leave it running when you log out of your desktop so it opens again when you log back in. If that doesn't work, try this: 2. delete the sound card and reinstall outside of YaST: * as root, delete /etc/mobprobe.d/sound * run 'alsaconf &' * when your sound settings are correct, run 'alsactl store' * see 'man alsactl' for more info If that doesn't work, try this one: * 'rpm -e kdemultimedia3-mixer' * 'ldconfig' * 'rcalsasound stop' * 'rm /etc/asound.state' * 'rcalsasound start' * 'alsactl store' * 'alsaconf &' * when your sound settings are correct, run 'alsactl store' Good luck & regards, Carl
