When adding a sound card the user needs to choose between three configuration ways: automatic, normal and advanced. It is very difficult for the user to choose the appropriate way for him. Ideas for Improvement: * Moving "Volume" and "Start Sequencer" to the "Edit" section. * "Set As Primary Card" is now visible at once to the user * "Play Test Sound" is integrated into the "Edit" section Workflow for "Add" a new sound card: * The user chooses only the vendor and the model. * All the other settings (volume and some advanced settings) can be adjusted via "Edit". * Joystick settings can be done in the "Joystick" module. Mock ups for the redesign are available at: http://en.opensuse.org/Usability/Sound Relations: - feature/id: 304936 Discussion: #2: Guy Lunardi (glunardi) (2008-05-19 00:50:40) mschmidkunz: I believe that re-designing this module is probably a good idea. I hate to mix technology in design and feature discussions but in this case... I wonder if we need to make the module Pulse audio aware. #3: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) (2008-06-17 17:28:14) (reply to #2) I agree. Just open another FATE regarding Pulse Audio awareness of the YaST module in addition to this one, ...:-) #4: Guy Lunardi (glunardi) (2008-06-18 09:44:48) (reply to #3) Done, I have created 304936 to track the pulse-audio need in YaST. #5: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-04-16 13:37:20) looking for community volunteers #6: Stephan Kulow (coolo) (2009-08-12 10:53:12) (reply to #5) I suggest to reject this for 11.3, it has been around for long enough without any priorities -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/303460
