I guess short enough :)
I finally got around to doing as you said. It took about 20 minutes to download and install everything, and when it was all done, there's still no audio playing, altho the spectrum display shows that the file is playing _somewhere_. (That was also true before doing the YAST bit.) Some other responder (I don't know exactly where their response is right this minute) suggested using a whole lot of ALSA stuff, but altho I believe ALSA is installed, I cannot seem to find a way to dump Amarok and switch to ALSA. Besides, Amarok works on one or more live distros that I've tried, so why doesn't it work on SuSE? (I just read a report from somebody on the list that says that 11.3, about to be released for d/l and sale, also has sound problems. What on earth is going on here?) I have been playing the Linux game for quite a few years, but I still consider myself a novice. I have been with SuSE since the revs came with 2 fat books. I haven't been particularly interested in sound and video until recently, but now that I am, I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't switch to a distro that lets it work without all this finagling. I would have to say that unless I can get this working pretty soon, that will be my only option. Thanx for trying, Rajko.
