Alsa Problems.

Hi

Hope someone could help.

I'm currently running 10.3 on two boxes (one at work and one at home, for specs see below). my problem is that sound works on one profile but not on the other one. setting up 10.3 I create a user, and then using yast I create a second one. The first one at boot up gets sound the other profile freezes as soon as a sound is trying to play.

This happens at home and work. I suspect it is alsa using 10.4a at home and 10.3 default at work.

My Systems:
Work: Home:
Pent. 4 2.5Ghz 478 Cel 2.6ghz 775
512 Mb Ram 1GB Ram
ATI 9300 64MB ram Geforce FX 5500 256MB ram
On board Sound C-Media ? (not sure) (thought it is the sound driver but happens with on board to)
Samsung DVD Writer LG Dual DVD writer, Aopen DVD-Rom
US Keyboard UK Keyboard

In truth, I have absolutely no idea as to what your problem could be. Maybe one of the sound guru's on this forum will chime in and point you in the correct direction.

But in the mean time, one idea I have is to precisely compare the difference between the two logins. To do that, could you then download and run the following script on your openSUSE, from both logins (ie run it twice):
http://bulletproof.servebeer.com/als...s/alsa-info.sh
Note - to run this script just open a konsole and type "bash alsa-info.sh".

This is a script that wishie (a sound "guru" on IRC #alsa) wrote, to gather ALSA information from the machine its run on. When run, it will automatically post the output on pastebin.ca and give you the URL where its posted.

Here is an example.. http://pastebin.ca/724516

Then after having generated one URL from each login, if you compare the two URLs, maybe you will see some differences.

Hi

Just a Quick note

I ran the script at work. It gives me the same result, Nothing (not even a comma ) is out of place.

I have a theory, That what ever profile I start gets sole use of the sound card, and doesn't release it when I switch profiles. Meaning locking the sound card to that user and no other user could use it
