I was watching a training video (really) when the around volume started reduding itself. Over a period of about 30 seconds or so the volume went to zero. I went to the YaST sound module but it told me not to mess with anything unless I was an expert. Any experts out there willing to help? I'd appreciate any help.
My sound has likewise been all over the board in 11.0. I like the following tools for looking at sound: /usr/bin/alsamixer /usr/bin/alsamixergui Alsamixer, and the gui give you all your sound volume/mute controls in one place. You need to install the following rpms: alsa-utils-1.0.16-35.1 alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-705.1 Additionally, if your are running kde, the kde-control-panel "sound & multimedia -> sound system" is also an excellent tool for testing sound. Lastly, there is no magic in the 'expert' setting of yast for sound -- you qualify. I regularly when faced with an unexplained sound failure, just delete my sound card and then 'add' a new one that forces yast to re-detect the sound card and reconfigure it. Don't be intimidated by the 'expert' warnings in yast "except for the partitioner", and even then, all you need to do is google for yast partitioner and find a link before forging ahead.
