As you see i update my alsa to 1.0.15 but it don't fix my problem.
Internals speakers are just "mute" :angry:

Thank you for your help

have you checked alsa-firmware is installed ? have you made yourself a member of the audio group ? have you been through YaST to check it installed properly ? did you test it in YaST ? did you select the correct master channel in kmix ?

alsa-firmware is installed, i test my sound card through yast and nothing works, and i think that kmix is properly configured...
I tried to compile alsa drivers by myself and i stop it on modprobe.conf
i dont understand whatever of this file :unsure:

Edit: OMG front output just work.... it's just internal speakers who dont

Ok, i solved my problem.
i saw : *

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack

on a ubuntu forum so i tried In YaST, i specified my model and it just works...
Thanks

Excellent, glad you sorted it, now enjoy

andy

Hi,

i have the same notebook, the same suse version and the same problem too.

I tried updating alsa drivers, libs and everything else...nothing. I added with yast the option "model" to "dell-3stack" but nothing happened.

I keep hearing sounds if I connect the headphones, but nothings comes out if i try with the internal speakers.

Furthermore, when I updated the alsa drivers I started to get an error message about DBus not available when I start banshee. Despite that, banshee works as usual (headphones yes, internal speakers no)

Help me please

Robby

PS

I'm quite a newbie

I think we need to verify the accuracy of the information that you have provided. To help this, can you run the scripts below, so we can see what modules are loaded now? To download:
dmesg > output-of-dmesg.txt
and copy the contents of text file "output-of-dmesg.txt" to http://paste.lisp.org or http://rafb.net/paste/ or http://sourcepost.sytes.net/ or http://pastebin.ca/ and then post the URL here.

Old CPU, and DeltaFlyer,can correct me if i am wrong, if you open up kmixer and check
the switches make sure the external amplifier light is off, this will allow you to have sound
this seems to work a majority of the time. this switch controls the audio controls for some reason.

the alsa mixer (I run gnome so I don't have kmixer) don't show any "external amplifier" switch :unsure:

Anyway...I ran those scripts...these are the results:

tsalsa --> nopaste.com/p/a1AIYN7Qfb

alsainfo --> pastebin.ca/767081

dmesg output --> paste.lisp.org/display/50577

(I don't have enough posts to post links )

I wonder what all these scripts results mean...so...I hope someone can help me.

Thanks

thanks, ... I'm still digesting that. ....

The dmesg output surprised me, as there are 4 entries !! indicating your alsa sound is being loaded on 4 occasions. I'm puzzled, why 4? I would think only one is typical.

You state you installed the latest alsa? ... 1.0.14 is not the latest, although it does come with 10.3. It does look to me that you custom installed alsa-1.0.14a library. However v.1.0.15 is the latest. There is a more current set of alsa rpms here ...
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/....3_Update/i586/
.... although given the kernel update that came out last night (8-Nov-07), I don't anticipate that those rpms will stay there long, as they are kernel version specific.

I noticed you have IEC958 OFF, .... can you try switching that ON? If that doesn't work, put it back off.

And finally, take a look here re: a post by an openSUSE-10.2 user who got their speakers working:
http://blog.itlinux.cl/pbruna/2007/09/dell...ensuse-102.html
In particular note:

Sound Card
Before the kernel upgrade i have no sound, after neither, but with the new kernel and some twist is now working. I modified the load of the module in /etc/modprobe.d/sound, my file looks like this:

options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 position_fix=0 model=3stack
# u1Nb.NlnQcJzoe90:HD Audio Controller
+ alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel+

Once i did that and restarted alsa: rcalsasound restart, i had sound ONLY trough the phones. I restarted it againg and now the speakers was working. After a reboot only the phones was working, i restarted alsasound and againg the speakers works. I dont why this happend and dont care much i just added: rcalsasound restart to /etc/init.d/boot.local [/b]

I also found a post by a Ubuntu user who adopted a more complex approach:
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubunt...orking_properly
... I recommend you try the openSUSE-10.2 approach first.

And before you change anything, ensure you keep sufficient backups/records that you can restore everything if it doesn't work.
