My sound has likewise been all over the board in 11.0. I like the following tools for looking at sound: /usr/bin/alsamixer /usr/bin/alsamixergui Alsamixer, and the gui give you all your sound volume/mute controls in one place. You need to install the following rpms: alsa-utils-1.0.16-35.1 alsamixergui-0.9.0rc1-705.1 Additionally, if your are running kde, the kde-control-panel "sound & multimedia -> sound system" is also an excellent tool for testing sound. Lastly, there is no magic in the 'expert' setting of yast for sound -- you qualify. I regularly when faced with an unexplained sound failure, just delete my sound card and then 'add' a new one that forces yast to re-detect the sound card and reconfigure it. Don't be intimidated by the 'expert' warnings in yast "except for the partitioner", and even then, all you need to do is google for yast partitioner and find a link before forging ahead.

Ditto, Though in my case Entranced may be part of the mix. Every so often the alsa settings get either completely zapped, or switched to the default (which does not work on the machine concerned) when the machine boots (or possibly on shutdown, rather difficult to tell :-) ). The problem is there is no consistency about when this happens and no identifiable evidential trail (so reporting this as a reproducible bug is a bit of a problem). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
