Hello,

Another problem, which is about the sound on my lappy. I am using SuSE 10.0 on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100. Kernel and other stuff is default.

I don't get any sound from the speakers. I have brought the following information for to your attention. First one is from KMenu->System->Monitor->PCI and the second one is from lspci -n.

Sound should work on your laptop. You could check the various linux laptop posts, to get some hints:

Does the test sound in YaST work? ie YAST > HARDWARE > SOUND > OTHER > VOLUME , move the slider bars up, and try the test?

Do you have sound enabled in the BIOS?

Does sound work under another operating system? (such as windows ? ).

Test sound in YaST do not work although the sound card is recognized and all relevant controls are set to the "maximum" sound level.

Sound worked in M$ Windoze [I booted up Windoze once and then went on with a clean, all-disk install with SuSE 10].

I will check the BIOS as you said. But I'm %99 sure that it is enabled.

In addition to checking the BIOS (which is VERY important), you could also install the latest alsa driver from Packman:
http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=217
Use the flag in the upper right corner to toggle between english and german language.

Also, after doing the above, go to /etc/modprobe.d and rename any files with "sound" in the file-name to someothername.bak.

Then go back to YAST > HARDWARE > SOUND and retry to install your driver (and redo the test).

It would still be useful if you could do a current test of your hardware via another OS.
