I used kaffeiene vlc and amarok without problems on 11.4 KDE
I had some issues playing streamed audio until I installed vlc
And when ever I played video via vlc there would be no audio until I clicked on Audio -> Audio channels ->stereo or left or right then there would be sound until I paused and restarted the video then I had to go via the above mentioned process again
I used mmcheck as per the instrcutions on
Then one night there was a power failure The pc died ie not a controlled shut down
Then when I switched it on again there was no sound
I used a
SB0570 [SB Audigy SE]
Driver snd-ca0106
for the last few years without problems
I activated the
K8M800-M2 (V2.0) onboard audio
Configured as sound card number 0
Driver snd-via82xx
and had sound again
then there was a power failure again and now I dont have any sound
If I test the onboard card via yast and sound then it plays a sound (piece of classical music)
but neither amarok, kaffeiene or vlc makes a peep Nor when the system starts up or shuts down
I dont know what to do!
MMCheck said all is ok and I did not change anything
Also look at your mixer and ensure the PCM volume is not muted.
Note YaST plays sound with root permissions, so it is not 100% indicative of what one will get with user permissions. One could always try adding their regular user to group ‘audio’, reboot and test, but my personnel feeling based on your description of the problem is this is not a permissions issue.
No luck. still sound via yast sound but nowhere else
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
froim SDB:Audio troubleshootingand there was sound, but i assume it has tto do with the root permissions you mentiuoned?
anyway kept on fiddling

1 and 2 made no difference
I tried 3 just deleted the 2 cards via YaST, not the complete deletion (is that a word?) and I got the onboard card to work
the SB card stil does not work (via Yast also not)
Should I ty the Super delete? Or what do you suggest?
thanks

So you have onboard sound working , but not the SB card. It reads like there is an SB card misconfiguration in your PC’s audio setup. We need to see details of that to provide any suggestions.
Please with PC connected to the internet, in a terminal run the diagnostic script:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
and select the ‘UPLOAD/SHARE’ option. That will check your audio configuration, summarize it, and upload it to an alsa pastebin site. When the script is complete, it will give you the location (a link) where that information is located. Please copy that ‘link’ and post it here so we can check the configuration.

Please re-run the script from new location.
There is no upload/share functionthanks
The script always shows an UPLOAD/SHARE option if run with no arguments. but no matter, read what you posted to me. The output of the script was placed on your hard drive, right here: /tmp/alsa-info.yYZHXCs9Lb.
so copy the content of /tmp/alsa-info.yYZHXCs9Lb to a pastebin site such as SUSE Paste, press contribute, and post here the web site/URL this gives.
thanks for the URL. I will look at it. But what you stated about no upload option unless script is run as ‘su’ does not make sense. I suspect you had a different (unknown to me) problem. I ALWAYS run this script as a regular user and NOT as SU and it works fine, exactly as I noted. Hence I think the problem you encountered was elsewhere.

This makes me think that you do not have the sound blaster card configured in YaST.
Please post here the contents of the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf AFTER you have the sound cards configured in YaST. And after configuring the sound card in YaST, please try again with the card that you wish to get working, being careful again to restart pavucontrol.
When I configure the SB card as well I have no sound at all. Neither card produces sound except the onboard one when I test the audio under yastI have also noted that everytime I reboot I must delete and reinstall the onboard card before it works
