I have observed this behaviour on fresh installs of both the LiveCD and the installer DVD. The solution is simple, but this isn't a solution, it's a workaround. The default audio level should *not* be zero. It isn't so in most other popular OSes / distros. Note that I haven't tested this with other versions/platforms. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a fresh copy of openSUSE 11.2 KDE x86_64 2.Try playing an audio or video file in Kaffeine or Firefox Actual Results: No audible sound is heard from the speakers. Expected Results: There should be some amount of audible sound produced.
