I have run several programs under SuSE 9.1 using KDE. Programs with sound: KsCD: Plays CD's no problem. Grip: Played CD's and ripped ogg files. (system froze when I was running kdetv with grip, keyboard lock, had to reboot) Jux: plays fine using the ripped ogg files. xmms: works great. Frozen Bubble: works with sound. The only program which does not provide sound so far is kdetv. When entering KDE there is no sound announcement but leaving KDE there is a sound announcement. Also, The following is taken from dmesg for both SuSE 9.1 and 8.2 SuSE 9.1---------------- bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found tvaudio: TV audio decoder + audio/video mux driver tvaudio: known chips: \ tda9840,tda9873h,tda9874h/a,tda9850,tda9855,tea6300, ... tuner: chip found at addr 0xc2 i2c-bus bt878 #0 [sw] tuner: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)) \ by bt878 #0 [sw] SuSE 8.2---------------- bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found tvaudio: TV audio decoder + audio/video mux driver tvaudio: known chips: \ tda9840,tda9873h,tda9874h/a,tda9850,tda9855,tea6300, ... tuner: probing bt848 #0 i2c adapter [id=0x10005] tuner: chip found @ 0xc2 tuner: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles)) -------------------------- I thought it was interesting that in SuSE 8.2 it probed bt848 to find the chip at 0xc2. Maybe someone can tell me the significance of this differences. -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) ---- 2.4.20-4GB-athlon --- Mon 05/31/04 17:30 5:30pm up 0:54, 3 users, load average: 0.41, 0.28, 0.20
