Hi - I just installed openSuSE 12.3 x64 on an ASUS G75V series laptop and ran into a quirk with the KDE mixer (KDE Version 4.10.5 "release 1") that I suspect is a simple oops on somebodies part. This laptop does have two stereo speakers. When I bring up the KDE mixer dialog window, click on Settings -> Audio Setup, that brings up the Phonon - KDE Control Module dialog window. From here I select my sound card and set the profile to "Analog Stereo Output" Then if I click on the test buttons for the "Front Left" and "Front Right" the "Front Left" works fine but the "Front Right" also comes out on the Front Left speaker as well. BTW this DID work fine under openSuSE12.2 so I suspect something broke in this release.
Now for a bit of further quirkiness.... For grins I also tried the "Analog Surround 4.0 Output" profile. This time both the Front Left and the Front Right test buttons produced sound on the correct speaker, but both the Rear Left and Rear Right test buttons produce sound on the Front Left speaker and at a much higher volume level than the sound produced by the Front Left and Front Right test buttons.
I kinda suspect this is a simple problem to solve and somebody dropped the ball on testing this software code. Any ideas on how to get my KDE mixer to behave properly? Thanks in advance...
Marc..
I just discovered there is an opensuse-kde newsgroup and that sounds like a more appropriate place to post this question. So I will repost to that newsgroup and please accept my apologies... -- "The Truth is out there" - Spooky -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
