I just switched from Leap 42.2 to Tumbleweed about a week ago. It has been a while since I’ve had to troubleshoot any Linux issues (luckily openSUSE is a great plug-n-play distro; partially why I use it) so I’ll try my best to explain what’s going on. My integrated sound card seems to be having issues detecting the correct audio profile. When I login or restart pulseaudio, things default to a “digital output” profile as my audio default. The problem is that it seems like analog stereo output is the only channel that works here (there is no sound otherwise). I can modify this after startup by using pavucontrol and changing the config profile here. The problem is that this setting gets reset every time I restart or restart pulse for some reason. Is there a way to get this to stick or perhaps get the digital audio channel to work?
Thanks, here are some specs:
Model: “Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset 4 port SATA IDE Controller”
…
Driver Info #0:
Driver Status: ata_piix is active
Driver Activation Cmd: “modprobe ata_piix”
Driver Info #1:
Driver Status: ata_generic is active
Driver Activation Cmd: “modprobe ata_generic”
Driver Info #2:
Driver Status: pata_acpi is not active
Driver Activation Cmd: “modprobe pata_acpi”
Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
I likely can not help with the digital audio channel, but possibly < unsure > help getting the analogue to stick.
Try deano_ferrari’s suggestions first.
If they don’t work, then please run a diagnostic script, that can provide more information on your setup, so we can possibly come up with an approach that will more reliably work. You can run the script by sending the following command in a konsole/xterm as a regular user (with PC connected to the Internet):
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
Select the share/upload option when prompted. That will upload your PC audio configuration to the alsa site, and give you in the konsole/xterm a URL where that audio configuration is located. Please post that location (URL) here. We can look at that and may have a suggestion.
Have you tried configuring the sound system via the Gnome sound settings utility yet? The desired profile (for analogue output) can be set there as well.
The first link did the trick. Just had to add the default sound profile option. Thanks a bunch, I was scouring the interwebs for that post.
Now how do I mark the thread as solved and dead?
Glad to have been of guidance. We don’t mark threads as solved (or otherwise), but you can always adjust the title in your reply to reflect that if desired.
