Write a bug report on openSUSE component “sound” on openSUSE-11.3.
Attach (don’t copy and paste, but attach) to the bug report the text file from running:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload
and that will create the file /tmp/alsa-info.txt which can be added as an attachment. That has bunch of technical info that may show the alsa dev what is wrong with the alsa driver, IF you also describe the audio symptoms.
Note the SuSE-GmbH packager for sound is also an alsa developer, and if he fixes this, the fix gets sent upstream and ALL Linux distributions will benefit from your efforts with him.
There is guidance here for raising bug reports: Submitting Bug Reports - openSUSE … The alsa developer/openSUSE packager, may ask that you try a few different alsa versions, and hence if your schedule is too busy for such support (and I definitely know what that can be like) then its probably best NOT to write such a bug report.
Don’t reference this thread, as the SuSE-GmbH packager refuses to read forum threads. Its important the bug report has all the salient information.
Yes of course. If problem still exists state that.
Note it is ESSENTIAL you clear the “Need Info” flag, as if you do NOT do that, the SuSE packager will NOT know you think you have provided the only answer you can provide. I’ll clear the flag for you this time.
