These are the wrong versions. You should have packman packaged versions. NOT THESE.

This IMHO is a direct result of your having selected an appropriate repos, and not knowing what you are risking by that.

Typically, libffmpeg0 (which is not showing up) provides dependencies, which gives your PC many codecs. You are missing that, and hence it is likely (albeit not 100% certain) you are also missing those codecs. Install the packman packaged version of libffmpeg0.

Again, WRONG versions. Again, a direct result of your having added repos that you should not, given your understanding of the repos. You should add Packman packaged versions, not these.

I don't even know what vlc-noX is. ... So its possible that is inappropriate also.

I made a specific recommendation above, that you ONLY add OSS, Update, Packman and Non-OSS. You ignored it and added a bunch of other repos. This will read to be harsh, but this IS a problem of your own doing. If you believe my advice was wrong, and clearly you did because you ignored it, IMHO the logical thing to do is ask me to explain better, as opposed to going ahead, ignoring it, and breaking your sound.

Anyway, ... whats done is done. It can be undone. I recommend you replace those apps I highlighted in red with packman packaged versions. Ensure you remove the videolan repos from your software package manager.

I have done all changes as you suggested.
but still audio not working.
XMMS could able to show that audio is playing.
But sound is not audible.

I need to check this. I need to do a quality check to confirm what you state is indeed the case.

So once again, Did you try the speaker-tests? SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE - how to test your sound

I need more information to give you a recommendation. A LOT more information. To start, please open a terminal/konsole and type "su" (no quotes - enter root password when prompted) and then with your PC connected to the internet type the following twice:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh

the first time that will ask if you wish to update the script. Select YES. The second time that will give you a URL. Please post the URL here. Just the URL.

Please also provide output of copying and pasting and executing the following, one line at a time, into a konsole / terminal:

rpm -qa | grep alsa
uname -a
rpm -q libasound2
rpm -qa | grep layer
rpm -qa | grep xmms
rpm -qa | grep xine
rpm -qa | grep ffmpeg
rpm -qa | grep vlc
zypper lr

I suspect that will show what is still wrong with your setup (assuming it is not a hardware problem).

OK, from the script I note this:

Quote:

!!ALSA Version
!!------------

Driver version: 1.0.17
Library version: 1.0.19
Utilities version: 1.0.19

And from the rpms you provided I note this:

That suggests to me that your install the "git" version of alsa-driver-kmp-default is corrupted. Re-install alsa-driver-kmp-default. You may also need to re-install the "git" versions of those other apps. It reads to me that you have a corrupted rpm install.

Then restart, and test.

After doing that, you should end up with 1.0.19 being the driver detected by the script (instead of 1.0.17 which is detected now). If you still don't have sound (after having 1.0.17 driver in the script) then you should then try the model options associated with the IDT 92HD71B7X hardware audio codec.

The list of options is here:

Code:

STAC92HD71B*
============
  ref		Reference board
  dell-m4-1	Dell desktops
  dell-m4-2	Dell desktops
  dell-m4-3	Dell desktops
  hp-m4		HP dv laptops

For example, to aply the "hp-m4" option, one would change the /etc/modprobe.d/sound file to read:

Code:

options snd-hda-intel model=hp-m4
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
# u1Nb.ymTDDUiFrW9:82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel

save the change, then type su -c 'rcalsasound restart' and enter root password when prompted, restart your mixer, and test your sound. If that does not work, you need to replace "hp-m4" with "dell-m4-3" and try it. Restart alsa. Restart Mixer. Test .... then try each of the other options. You MUST try each until you get sound to work.

You need to install the packman packged libffmpeg0 !! I KNOW I pasted that twice !!

Sound is audible. It is very low.
I could not able to increase the volume further.
Any further suggestions.?
Thank you so much for great help.

Try going to YaST > Hardware > Sound > Other > Volume and move both PCM and Master volume up to 95%. Then close YaST. That may crash the "sound" app in YaST, as there is a bug in that application for some sound devices.

Then go to your mixer, and move the volume up for both PCM and Master Volume controls. If you have a speaker volume control you can move that up as well.

If after that, your volume is still low, you will (once again) need to provide all the information that I have typically requested in the past, so I can understand better what might be happening.

ie:

/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh

and post here the URL provided.

And the output of copying and pasting and executing the following, one line at a time, into a konsole / terminal:

rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

Yup. Everything working fine. I installed kmix, where i can control PCM, Front and Speaker.
Thanks once again.
