Clean install of 11.2
I got the plugins installed as explained in other posts. But the mp3 playback sounds like a very old scratchy record, it is unbearble to listen too.
I have tried Ubuntu on this box and it plays mp3 fine. I do not want to use Ubuntu, I am more familar with SLES.

Thanks in advance for any support.
As you didn’t specify what you used:
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums
Some users find the packman packaged xine engine gives better sound than gstreamer.
Still reading up on troubleshooting the issue. But I should add that all of the test sounds sound great. It is just MP3 playback is the issue.
FIXED! WOOT!
Found the fix here
PulseAudio - openSUSE
Glitches in audio playback
Edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf: uncomment the default-fragments and default-fragment-size-msec, and change values from the default 4 and 25 to 16 and 21.
Please report back in bug 381686if this works or not for you.
I guess I need to report back to the bug report now
