Hello all,

I've got a very strange sound behavior.

I installed a new 11.2 from scratch in an AMD64.
I have sound in KDE itself, in amarok, in kaffeine, in ksCD. I don't
have any sound in firefox nor in vlc.

Is there any clue, how to solve this?

Many Thanks in advance,

Uwe

I found it myself (quite close to it).

PCM was set to 0 in KMIX. (It worked earlier on and I didn't change it
?-), this question remains open...).

I've found that just playing a video that doesn't have any sound turns
the PCM to 0. I just manually turn it back on. ( Open SuSE 11.0. )
However in 11.1 I don't get any sound from any web browser at all, but
still get the above behavior.

On an 11.1 64 bit system, I get sound with the test play in Yast > Hardware

What I don't get is sound from Amarok or Kaffeine. I could understand mp3,
even though the Fluendo codec is installed, but ogg files also don't work.
PCM is fine on this system, and doesn't exhibit the off on occasions that
11.2 does.

Weird !
The hardware worked just fine in version 10.3. No sound problems at
all. In 11.0 32 bit, it works fine with the exception mentioned above.
In 11.1 32 bit, the sound works fine except as above and no sound in any
browser.
All the above using KDE 3.5.10.
I did try 11.2 KDE 4. Argh. Went back to 11.1.
