Problems with sound

hello,

I am new to openSUSE and KDE (just made the step from windows to linux
btw. )

i' m having problems with adjusting sound, i think i have to adjust it
in KMIX but the problem is that i don' t see a volume adjustment bar
and unmuting/muting doesn' t work. When i hover over the icon in the
bottom-right i get a little message box saying:" mixer not found".

Does somebody know what the problem is, and how to fix it ofcourse!

Thanks in forward,

Hellbas

troubleshooting guide:
'SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE'
(http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AudioTroubleshooting)

If that does not seem to help, please can you type the follow commands
in an xterm/konsole (ie a terminal) and post the output to your help
forum:
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d

If you can run the diagnostic scripts from the audio troubleshooting
guide, and post the URLs that they provide, that would also be
helpful.

Thanks for replying,

ALSA wasn' t installed, i installed it and now everything works.

the commands you need to enter from the troubleshouting guide are:

rpm -q alsa alsa-utils alsa-firmware

if you get then it is not installed (as was in my case xD)


alsa-1.0.14-31.2
alsa-utils-1.0.14-27
package alsa-firmware is not installed


to install:

In openSUSE-10.3, to install alsa-firmware, in a konsole/xterm, type
"su" (without quotes) followed by root password to get root permissions
in that konsole/xterm, and then to install alsa-firmware type:

zypper install alsa-firmware

Thanks again,

Hellbas
