Suse 11.0 KDE4 Sound problems

[ken734]

I am very new to linux. I have installed Suse 11.0 and KDE 4 and I am very impressed. I have it networked with no problems with my Windows computers. I am not able to get sound of it though. I tried using the Suse troubleshooting guide and removed the driver from Yast and when trying to re-install it I get the following message: The kernel module snd-es1938 for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestion on how to resolve this problem

This is a problem that is easy to solve, if you are using kmix open the mixer and select5 channels them unclick the external amplifier button, this will turn the sound on (in most cases)

this is as long as you have an integrated sound card.

If you are unsuccessfully following TKS1125's recommendation, and given the opensuse audio troubleshooting guide SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE did not work for you, can you provide us some more information on your sound setup?

With your PC connected to the internet, please open a konsole and copy and paste the following diagnostic script:

wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa && su -c 'bash ./tsalsa'

when prompted for a password please enter your root password. Please try accurately enter the number of jacks/plugs you have. For example on my PC I have 3 audio Input/Output plugs. When the script completes it will give you a URL. Please post that URL here.

Also, please copy and paste the following, one line at a time in a konsole, and post the output here.
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
uname -a

Also, please use the following as a test (copy and paste this) for sound functionality (note it is case sensitive):
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
