[opensuse] Dell HD Audio Controller on Dell E520 and openSUSE 10.2
Hi Everybody. This past weekend I installed openSUSE 10.2 on a new Dell Dimension E520. So far everything works fairly well - except for the onboard audio which I can't get to work. This is a Dell HD Audio Controller which the installer recognized and loaded the snd_hda_intel module, but the beast won't make a sound. Does anyone know what must be done to get this to work? aTdHvAaNnKcSe -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER@VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK - IGNORE FULLWISE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Install the alsa mixer gui (or use the text based one in a shell) and use that to make sure its not muted. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Me, too. Nice machine.

Can't get to work, or is muted? Check to be sure.

You won't get a whole lot of support from the default SuSE kernel... that HD Audio controller is very new. If you want all the audio sources to show up (rather than the simple analog out the mixer makes available by default), you'll want to install the beta ALSA drivers. Not the utilities, not the libraries, JUST the drivers. -- Marc Wilson | A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will msw@cox.net | protect the fuse by blowing first. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
