Re: [opensuse] Cannot hear any sound
[...]
Brandon, If it's just mp3 files you can't play or hear, then you must be using the SuSE files for your Amarok. Go to Packman mirrors to get the fixed files(Amarok, etc) to install/replace the SuSE ones. But if no sound is working, you'll need to still replace the files, but also do a bit more investigation.
I don't know what I am using for Amarok. The sound has never worked in this machine, because I don't think i set it up correctly originally. [...]
Built-in sound is a hit and miss with SuSE many times. Sometimes you have good luck, other times not so good. But it's not all SuSE's fault either, because the built-in sound is not the best choice if you value your sound quality. Get a good sound card to add to the system, if possible. It's very seldom, if at all, that the motherboard manufacturer will provide Linux drivers, so I'm not sure what you installed.
Hopefully helpful, Lee I have a feeling the problem might have something to do with me switching machines. I used to have this hard drive in a different machine, but now I updgraded to a faster processor. The sound didn't work then either. I'm not gonna spend the money on a nice sound card for this box, because it
I am pretty sure I found the correct driver for my built in sound, as I said in my previous post. It came with a shell script to install it, and it seemed to install correctly. [...] mainly acts as a server for my lan, but it would be nice to be able to review some of the mp3's the various users upload to it. It's not something I absolutely need, but it would be nice.

Have you read README in realtek-linux-audiopack-4.06a? Though, I would try YaST to configure sound. It will find the card and install proper drivers. The mp3 support is provided with Real Player, but it has to be installed and set as default player for mp3. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have had luck running alsaconf (as root) to configure sound on a SuSE system when I was expieriencing sound problems. Curtis Grote Memorial Hospital -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Curtis, Yes it is possible, but it will leave you with sound system that you have to maintain, and in this case Brandon's problem was listening of mp3 files, which has nothing to do with sound driver. The official solution in openSUSE is Realplayer that has to be installed and than it should work. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
