I have Toshiba X205 laptop that refuses to configure the sound card. The alsamixer works correctly now, however… I can not get any sound output at all.
Here is the alsaconf output… http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a3f61785885b5bae8daeeab5a854b62ac97cff90
I had tried OS 11.1 first, no sound… OS 11.2 sound worked great, and OS 11.3 again, no sound. I am at my wits end trying to get the sound to work. Any help would be appreciated…
I note this:
!!Kernel Information
!!------------------
Kernel release: 2.6.35-rc5-12-desktop
That is NOT a standard 11.3 desktop kernel.
So the fault here is not with 11.3 as packaged. Rather you installed a non-standard kernel, which has NOT had the same level of testing, and sound does not work.
Your thread title and post text is incredibly misleading, and only if one examines the link in detail is it clear that this is not an openSUSE-11.3 fault.
Where did you get that kernel from?
You probably should report this to the packager of that non-standard kernel.
Sorry for the confusion, but this problem is with both a stock kernel, and with a newly compiled kernel…
I’ll try help with a stock kernel, but not with a newly compiled.
Can you post an ‘lspci -k’ output?
I cant at the moment, but I can once I get home from work…

I have the stock kernel running at the minute as well.
here is the alsaconf file from the stock kernel… http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a333d8705e56fa599968fde4b34fbd1155c00f5f
I confess to being skeptical that the stock kernel was re-installed ( ? ) properly. It does not identify your graphic card at all, and the Realtek ALC268 (which is identified on your Toshiba Satellite X205 from the last time you ran this) is fairly common.
Please post the content of /var/log/boot.msg on Pastebin.com - #1 paste tool since 2002! and press submit on that site (so the content is saved there) and then post here the URL/website-address that site will give you to find those contents. Do NOT post directly the content of boot.msg here as it is MUCH too big.
I checked the linlap site for the Toshiba Satellite X205 and noted this: Toshiba Satellite X200-X205 [Linux Laptop Wiki]
They suggest adding the model option ‘toshiba’ to your /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf file. There is a specific syntax associated with that, and I would need to see the syntax of that file now in order to provide the correct edit to that file to add the ‘toshiba’ option properly.
So with your PC setup for the stock kernel what is the output of:
rpm -qa '*alsa*'
rpm -qa '*pulse*'
rpm -q libasound2
cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf

There probably should be a 50-sound.conf for an ALC268.
Go to YaST > Hardware > Sound and try to configure your sound device.
Yast hangs when I try to configure the card
This is with the ‘stock’ kernel ? or with your custom one. Please try with the ‘stock’ kernel.
Are you doing anything special when trying this, or just going for the basic default yast setup?
this is stock kernel… default yast setup…
There are some strange errors in that boot.msg. Is that 2.6.34-12 the stock kernel, or is it a stock you rebuilt?
that is the stock 2.6.34-12 kernel…
I always leave the stock kernel alone for a “failsafe” kernel, for when I do compile a custom kernel…
How confident are you that your installation was good ? ie did you compare the md5sum of the downloaded iso file against that on the openSUSE web site? Did you burn the installation CD/DVD at the slowest speed your CD/DVD burner allows? Did you burn to a +R or -R media and NOT to an RW media ?
Assuming you did all that, here is a somewhat speculative try. Try manually forcing an audio configuration. Save this file under /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
reboot and test.
failing that, remove the /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf file and write a bug report on openSUSE-11.3 component sound: openSUSE:Submitting bug reports - openSUSE
I redid the install last night, and during the install the sound configuration failed. I checked the sum, and it was good… I am at a loss for why I cant get sound to work on 11.3, but it worked without a fuss on 11.2
Try updating alsa to the latest ‘development’ version, with guidance here: SDB:Alsa-update - openSUSE
