[opensuse] two hardware questions
1) The sound on my laptop is pretty poor. I bought a pair of logitech usb speakers: They work fine under windows. However, in opensuse 10.3 they are are recognised, but I get no sound through them. I can select them through kmix but adjusting the control there does nothing for it. If I press the volume increase button on the side of the speaker and the laptop displays a volume window set to 11%. Repeated pressing doesn't change anything however pressing the decrease button displays volume set to 0%. I'd be really grateful if someone had any idea how to get them working or could point me in the direction where I can get some help. 2) My laptop has a built-in card reader. Is there anything I can do to get linux to detect and use it? Again it works well under windows. Thanks very much, in advance.

The card-reader itself won't show up. when you put a memory card into it, the CARD will show up (at least with KDE, i don't know about gnome) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I thought that might be the case but putting a card in it did not invoke a response from the system; that's why I thought that there maybe something else to it. Thanks for the reply anyway. It is cheering to know that at least one person thought about it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What laptop are you working with? Maybe there is something extra that you need to do on the laptop to get the card reader working... something specific to your laptop model. Generally speaking memory cards simply show up as an automounted drive (similar to what happens if you plug in a USB external drive or put a DVD or CD in your optical drive) when a card is plugged into the reader.

Though it works fine under 10.3, under 10.2 I had to run a lspci -s command to find out what my card reader was then a setpci command to set my card reader to be active.
