Dear sanidhya,
It would be more good for your problem, if you start new thread for it.
You can briefly explain your problem there. On this way, your thread/problem can get more attention.

Here is the thing --> snd-hda-intel

That says your running Intel's built-in sound. The Fix is a snap.

Yast>Hardware>Sound

Select Edit model

add "ref"

select ok

follow it though and reboot your sound.

Close Yast, restart kmix or what ever it is in Gnome.

open kmix or ... un-mute and turn the volume up on everything, in my case I chose 'right'.

Close mixer, make sure volume is at a reasonable level.

Reboot your puter. after you login, you should be hearing the startup file play.

enjoy.

China_Jobs, welcome to openSUSE forums.

I note you replied to a number of sound support threads, and in every case recommended the application of the model "ref".

In fact, that model option does NOT work in most cases. If one looks at the 1.0.18 version of alsa-configuration.txt file, and does a search for ref, one will find that option "might" only work for the following options ...

STAC9200, STAC9205/9254, STAC9220/9221, STAC9202/9250/9251, STAC9227/9228/9229/927x, STAC92HD71B*, STAC92HD73*

In the case of user sanidhya23 the hardware audio codec on their PC is a STAC9221 and the model "ref" might work on their PC. But it might not.

The model options for the STAC9221 are the following:

	STAC9220/9221
	  ref		Reference board
	  3stack	D945 3stack
	  5stack	D945 5stack + SPDIF
	  intel-mac-v1	Intel Mac Type 1
	  intel-mac-v2	Intel Mac Type 2
	  intel-mac-v3	Intel Mac Type 3
	  intel-mac-v4	Intel Mac Type 4
	  intel-mac-v5	Intel Mac Type 5
	  intel-mac-auto Intel Mac (detect type according to subsystem id)
	  macmini	Intel Mac Mini (equivalent with type 3)
	  macbook	Intel Mac Book (eq. type 5)
	  macbook-pro-v1 Intel Mac Book Pro 1st generation (eq. type 3)
	  macbook-pro	Intel Mac Book Pro 2nd generation (eq. type 3)
	  imac-intel	Intel iMac (eq. type 2)
	  imac-intel-20	Intel iMac (newer version) (eq. type 3)
	  dell-d81	Dell (unknown)
	  dell-d82	Dell (unknown)
	  dell-m81	Dell (unknown)
	  dell-m82	Dell XPS M1210

They should be applied one at a time to see if one works.

We can use all the help we can get in the forums, so if you get the chance you could read the following files (comes with the documentation in every alsa tarball):

• alsa-configuration.txt
• hd-audio-models.txt
• hd-audio.txt

and that should shed some light on this, and the various aspects associated with troubleshooting Linux sound.
