Phonon error

[villian999]

Upon booting into OpenSUSE 11.1 I get an error stating

The audio playback device Dummy 1 (Dummy PCM) does not work.
Falling back to NVidia CK804 with ALC655 (NVidia CK804).

I also get this error with amarok and other apps that use sound. My sound works fine, but that error is so annoying. I've searched that error and found a few things to try, but no luck yet. I've uninstalled/reinstalled phonon.
I tried going to YaST control center, then hardware... but there is no sound icon.

I'm using 64 bit OpenSUSE 11.1 with KDE4. This occured after trying to resolve a sound issue with a game. I had uninstalled and reinstalled ALSA, which had resolved the issue, but gave me these issues.

Any suggestions on how to resolve these issues?

Nvm, I got it figured out. For anyone else that has an issue like this... I went to Menu - Configure Desktop - Sound. And for Audio Output, I removed Dummy 1. Now the annoying message doesn't appear and my sound still works great.

Now, if anyone knows how to get the Sound icon in YaST - Hardware, I'd appreciate some assistance. (Not that I NEED it right now, but it will save me time in the future with any other sound issues I might come across)

You need to install kde4-kmix to get the sound icon in the system tray (at least thats what worked for me )
