I've installed all four media updates, but I have no sound. Kmix shown mixer levels at non-zero. Everything worked in SuSE 9.2 yesterday. Go to Yast Control Center>Hardware>Sound>Volume and see if Master and PCM are turned up. Press test. For reasons I cannot fathom the mixers don't show it, if the Volume is put to 0 in the Control Center. Same problem here. Master and PCM are set to maximum, but no sound. Worked

on Sun, 24 Apr 2005 14:28:50 +0200 perfectly in 9.2. I've had this problem with just about every version of SuSE I've installed. For me I had to start up the gamix or alsamixergui, and go through all the settings (including setting some to 0 that were all the way up) (kmix and kamix don't seem to have all the volume settings).
This is NOT a volume setting problem that we are having. This is some other wonky issue. Maybe a bug in artsd or alsa? I don't know. What I do know is - It's not a volume setting thing. - It will mysteriously start working at some point (almost everyone who's reported this problem on the various SuSE groups has had it start working again, but without any indication why). - Nothing you change in the settings seems to have any affect on the problem... including playing with the sound settings in YAST and in Kcontrol. My system is once again without sound. It was working.. then it stopped. I tinkered for hours trying to find out what's wrong... nothing I did made any difference. They after one of many many reboots it started working. I worked on other things for a while and managed to screw up my kernel modules so much (tinkering and playing with recompiles just to see what 9.3 can do) that I decided that it was easier to reinstall than to try to back out my changes. After the reinstall... no sound again. Nothing I've done since will get it working again either. Seriously annoying.
