Hi there!. I've just installed openSUSE 11.2 but I can't get any sound  output.

My hwinfo --sound looks like:

I have the same device in my Dell laptop and it works with the x86_64 fresh install. I don't remember having to do anything special to get it to work, but then I have also applied all the updates from the opensuse repositories.  O

I have snd_hda_intel loaded in lsmod.  You might try to force that in, and if it fails check your bios settings. -- If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out? - Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Should I boot this kernel to fix the problem?

I don't think that would hurt (and might help) but uname says you are already running that kernel. The right kernel package is installed, but modprobe can't find those kernel modules. Are they actually there?

I'd wish to thank Mr. Raboud, and everybody that helped me to solve this problem. Although Amarok continues to fighting me, this is a minor problem that I think I can solve later. Thanks everybody for your patience, time and knowledges. 2009/11/20 Daniel Antonio Peraza Cedrez :

Oh please Mr. Raboud excuse me for the double posting. I'm using GMail and I was just clicking the reply-all button to reply to the list. I'll be more careful from now on.

I reviewed the BIOS settings of my motherboard and I just forgot that I deactivated the on board ac97 audio codec (or whatever that thing is called) when trying to follow the instructions that somebody on other linux users group gave me to fix the problem. I activated it again, booted the kernel-default and I was able to configure the sound card through YaST.

Now I can get sound output, but when listening to music in Amarok, the music makes a very  long pause just after finishing playing the current track, and then continues to the next one.

In system preferences I have the gstreamer and Xine phonon backends (in that order). Banshee seems to work ok, but I can't see any option in the new Amarok version shipped with 11.2 that might be causing this problem.
