Hello again-- Altho I am pretty sure I had sound when I had 10.0 on this machine, I now have 9.3, and no sound comes out. I first found that Skype was not outputting anything, then I tried a music CD. All the titles display as they should, but not a peep out of the speakers. I have checked the mixer settings, and everything is turned up, there is no mute bar thru the speaker in the bottom tool bar, or whatever it's called. I even tried other speakers. Running KDE. What do I do next? --doug
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Check out the permissions on the /dev/dsp, /dev/mixer, and/or /dev/audio devices. I can't get sound either most of the time unless I change the default permissions from 644 to 666. I've tried to make that a permanent change in the udev stuff but it seems like the udev stuff is broken on SuSE 9.3 as there is no way to force the udevd to re-read the /etc/udev rules files to update the "database".

Some kind soul wrote to me (directly) that I should invoke alsaconf (which I discovered you must do from root) which I did). It will find and configure your sound card. All you have to do is keep replying "yes" to the configuration questions, and voila, sound! However, you do have to reinstate your KMix, so you can control volume, etc. after alsaconf is done. So far, it's been working just fine, but I haven't rebooted the machine (and won't, if I don't have to).
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Great! Glad you were able to get that working. Now, if I could only get udev to work like I think it's supposed to...GGGRRRRR! ;-) kevin Doug McGarrett wrote:

alsaconf might help you. (beware - it will make your Yast sound card detection not work. Use with caution)
