Sound Problem
in [Suse]

Prev: WIFI /w Broadcom
Next: can't start JACK with QJackCtl
From: Paul J Gans on 12 Apr 2008 21:48 My recent reinstall went swimmingly and, after I consigned Beagle to the nether hells, works quite well. With one exception. I've got the oft-reported "sound problem". When I boot, sound does not work. If I go into Yast and go to Sound in the hardware, pretend to edit my sound card configuration (but I don't actually change anything) and close edit up and let Yast restart sound, everything works wonderfully. But the next time I boot, I've got to go through this dance again. Clearly, something having to do with sound is not being set up right on startup. Can anybody give me a hint? -- --- Paul J. Gans

Can anybody give me a hint? check in "yast - system - runlevel" if alsasound is starting at boot. -- EOS www.photo-memories.be Running KDE 3.5.9 / openSUSE 10.3

Highlight the sound card. Play test tone. Nothing happens. Then press edit the sound card settings. Press "reset all". At that point one can hear a clunk as the sound card attaches to the output. Play test tone. Test tone is fine. End edit process and exit the sound card panel normally. Sound is fine from then on. Before my reinstall, I did not have this problem. Nor do I have it with the other three 10.3 installations I've got. Oh well, there are days like these. -- --- Paul J. Gans |
