[opensuse] loaded mplayer and the sound is gone
I downloaded with zhypper mplayer/ and now the sound is gone. Nothing I've tried, either in yast or alsa seems to get it running. I suspect the issue has to do with the pulse audio. I have a Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) sound card which worked just fine in opensuse 9.2 and works in Memphis. I'm really at a loss here and very fustrated. Yast makes no sound when testing lsmod gives me the following relavent output snd_pcm_oss 51648 0 snd_mixer_oss 18464 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 64752 0 snd_seq_device 8556 1 snd_seq snd_intel8x0 35068 0 snd_ac97_codec 119364 1 snd_intel8x0 ac97_bus 1920 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 97444 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 27176 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 75076 8 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9120 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10248 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm -- http://www.mrbrklyn.com - Interesting Stuff http://www.nylxs.com - Leadership Development in Free Software -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ruben, I have had sound woes with AC97 for the past several weeks but I think I have things straightened out. The biggest problem I've found, is for some reason the mixer volume for speaker keeps getting reset to '0' and for a while, the volume control for 'headphone' was what was actually controlling my speaker channels. I too went through yast, kde control center -> multimedia -> Sound, etc... but no use. Finally, I just started kmix, then went to 'configure channels' and made all the channels visible on the mixer. Then I set master at 100% and all channels at 0%. Then I just went down the line raising each level to 100 and in konsole entering: # play /usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-Log-In.ogg then just listened. If the current channel didn't work, I moved to the next channel and did the same thing. Headphones was the culprit for a while, but now the version of the snd modules I have plays through the 'speakers' like it should. You will just have to check. You can use any player you want to test, but if you want to use the command line player 'play' it is in the 'sox' rpm. Just 'zypper in sox' should do it.
