Dear all, I have upgraded a few of my machines from 9.3 to 10.0, and after happily using it for a while ( upgrade process is great !), sound just quit working on these machines. XMMS can't play mp3s and using alsaconf to reconfigure it doesn't work (It used to). Does anyone have the same experience, or even better a fix to this problem ? Thanks in advance.

Hi again Low Kian Seong, You might want to add the following installation sources: many 'third party' multimedia packages: visit http://packman.links2linux.com/ YaST installation source: http://packman.rsync.zmi.at/suse/10.0 more 'third party' packages by suser-guru: visit http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/index.php YaST installation source: http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.0/ regards, Carl
Dear Carl and all,
Two questions :
1. Correct me if I am wrong, isn't packman for non supported and unstable
packages ? This is for my office's desktop machines, so stability is a must.
2. After adding the sources what is next as in what packages do I install ?

One remark. Please do not toppost.
1. Correct me if I am wrong, isn't packman for non supported and unstable packages ? This is for my office's desktop machines, so stability is a must.
The additional repositories will not be updated by YOU. This does not mean that they are unstable. Because they are not updated and not made by SUSE, they are unsuported by SUSE.
2. After adding the sources what is next as in what packages do I install ?

Hi Low Kian Seong, Houghi has already discussed 'supported' vs. 'unstable', but Suser-Guru and Packman are very reliable in my experience. In your original post, you said you upgraded some systems from 9.3 to 10.0 and lost the ability to play mp3 files. One of the changes from 9.3 to 10.0 is that non-OSS packages have been dropped from the download version. The following page lists the packages provided in the retail (boxed) distribution of SUSE 10.0 that are *not* included with the download (OSS) version: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/16015.html If you were to buy and install the retail version, you would not only be supporting the ongoing development of the distribution but you'd also regain the ability to play mp3 files with xmms... since the retail version contains the non-OSS libraries. Of course, you can add comparable multimedia playback to the OSS download version by using the installation sources that I posted previously. After you've added those sources, the packages below should be available for installation: MPlayer w32codec-all mplayerplug-in RealPlayer10 Note: In my experience, one package that is installed by default with 10.0, called "mozplugger", conflicts with mplayerplug-in. I usually uninstall mozplugger first, then add the packages I've listed above. regards, Carl

Don't have a fix but do have the same problem with my USB sound card. Just stopped working for no apparent reason. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
