Can somebody point me to a link, or explain how the sound is supposed to work. On my last system, there always appeared to be a contest between Firefox (e.g. after YouTube) and other applications. Sorry for being so dumb on this, but I am a software developer and rarely tried running sound before. In my home I have a receiver that allows me to chose the desired input channel. How is this accomplished under linux? It also is not clear to me which software components need to be loaded. I saw on the online setup how to make the system bark, but not how to select between Firefox and Rhythmbox, for instance. I also installed the Rhythmbox RPM and cannot make it operate. It will not load my large directory of music file. If I select a single track, it appears to be playing the track (as the bar moves across the top) but no sound comes from the speakers.
I did a Google on opensuse 3.2 sound and most of the listings were ancient, like 2001.

Hi Don, I culled these links from a simple Google search on 'pulseaudio opensuse'. This is a topic well worth studying if you prefer to understand what's going on, and why, when you encounter unexpected / counter-intuitive behaviors. I'm no 'expert' by any means but I can at least work with it now. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/About/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/502642-No-sound-with-suse-13-2 http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/PulseAudio Another very fruitful search was for 'pulseaudio opensuse 13.2 site:forums.opensuse.org'. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
