Sound has been fine from initial installation a few months ago until suddenly there was no sound a couple of days ago. Reboot, no change. Reboot into XP and the sound is fine. Reboot into Linux, no sound.
I went into YaST->Hardware->Sound and the SB Audigy shows up as properly configured. I removed the SB Audigy configuration and then tried to set it up again. I got an error message saying that the module snd-emu10k1 cannot be loaded. Checking /lib/modules shows snd-emu10k1.ko, snd-emu10k1-synth.ko and snd-emu10k1x.ko
Try to run this script as root: rpm -e --nodeps kdemultimedia3-mixer ldconfig rcalsasound stop rm /etc/asound.state rcalsasound start alsactl store
Then try to configure sound again with YaST or alsaconf (but not with both at once).
That worked using alsaconf! Thanks very much for your help. -- Marshall Lake -- mlake@mlake.net -- http://mlake.net
