Managed to Fix the sound issues last night. This post might be alittle long but it will have some good information in it. Steps I took after reading some posts from an Ubuntu Forum: 1) ran the following command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec 2) This returned my soundcard Codec information. 3) Using the following list I found my Codec (ALC662) Model name Description ---------- ----------- ALC880 3stack 3-jack in back and a headphone out 3stack-digout 3-jack in back, a HP out and a SPDIF out 5stack 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front 5stack-digout 5-jack in back, 2-jack in front, a SPDIF out 6stack 6-jack in back, 2-jack in front 6stack-digout 6-jack with a SPDIF out w810 3-jack z71v 3-jack (HP shared SPDIF) asus 3-jack (ASUS Mobo) asus-w1v ASUS W1V asus-dig ASUS with SPDIF out asus-dig2 ASUS with SPDIF out (using GPIO2) uniwill 3-jack fujitsu Fujitsu Laptops (Pi1536) F1734 2-jack lg LG laptop (m1 express dual) lg-lw LG LW20/LW25 laptop tcl TCL S700 clevo Clevo laptops (m520G, m665n) test for testing/debugging purpose, almost all controls can be adjusted.

I suspect that since the card is a 5.1 capable card ALSA assumed that I had a 5.1 setup and thus incorrectly tried to configure the card for this type of setup. However that is just a hunch. Anyone with a better explaination? Hope this helps anyone out there.

Here is my experience thus far. 1) Technical Information about sound setup. -GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L mother board with RealTek ALC662 Codec onboard Soundcard -High Definition audio with 2/4/5.1 Channel Output Last night I tried to configure it with YaST. I went to the other button clicked on volume. I get to the Test Window but there are no volume sliders present. I can hear the test sound but it is so soft that my I had to make sure it was dead quiet in my house before I could hear it. Then I installed ALSA from the DVD. All the Alsa tools. Logged in a root and ran alsaconf. AlsaConf picked the card up as a Intel HD audio card. I could also just barely hear the test sound. After running Alsaconf I had two cards diplayed in Yast. I tried both of them as the default card to no success. When I select the AlsaConf card as a default I cannot even get to the volume test page. When I tried to run Alsamixer I got a invalid argument error. All the other mixers such as KMix just show the YaST card and not the Alsacard. So I removed the AlsaConf card. Went back to the one Yast detected and rebooted the machine. Now the fun started I could not log in with any other user except root. Anyone got any suggestions?

Are you referring to the panel where you can select Volume, Play Test sound, Start Sequencer and so on? I did go there last night but when I select volume I don't get any volume control to set it with. I did not however click a button in the bottom right it was sort of in the centre of the screen.
Open YaST, click Hardware > Sound. Then with your sound card selected, look down on the bottom right. There is a button there labeled Other. Click it and select Volume. This will take you direct to the master volume sliders. Adjust them up and click Test. Keep adjusting until your volume is "right" C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org ----------------------------------------- Engen Petroleum Limited, disclaims liability for any loss, damage or expense however caused, arising from the sending, receipt, or use of this e-mail and on any reliance placed upon the information provided through this service and does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the information.
