I ran an upgrade of my sons desktop machine over the weekend, and it has now lost sound completely. Via YaST, I've deleted and reconfigured the soundcard, but this had no (apparent) effect. The card is currently detected as "d330 uT' with driver snd-intel8x0 - I'm afraid I don't know if that was also the previous config.
AFAIR, the kmix application used to show several miscellaneous sliders, but they seem to have gone too. (replaced by 3-4 tabs with streams). Any suggestions on how to get sound back? (apart from reinstall).
Is there really not a single app that plays sound or just KDE? Does it not work either for a new user?
I'll try a new user and see if that works. Otherwise the welcome sound isn't played, and flash in Firefox doesn't produce any sound either.
You could have a look at the phonon backend via systemsettings > multimedia > phonon. For xine it sometimes helps to remove the ~/.xine folder if updating its plugin list screwed things up. Pulseaudio may play a role, you can enable/disable it via YaST. You can also try the different phonon backends available, i.e. gstreamer and vlc.
Okay, thanks.
I know you said it happen after software upgrade
Did yoy test it with a Live CD ?
There is a possibility a Sound Card failure. This way you could isolate it's a hardware failure or software issue. Before you go too far beyond with software troubleshooting.
Interesting idea, Richard - no, I haven't tested it with a Live CD. After all, it was working very well right up until the upgrade. I've got a Live copy of 11.4M5, I'll see what happens. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (28.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
