Well? It doesn’t, Yesterday it worked, today it does not.
I don’t mind some “play”
but this is STUPID
LINUX is, as my avatar shows, made by hippies, in sheds. For hippies, in other sheds, for other hippies in other sheds. It does not actually work.
It is a pointless excercise

Sorry you have issues with your install. However, could it be the fault of what you are doing versus Linux being designed by a bunch of “hippies”? I have used it for years and not have many issues and I am not a “Hippie”. Perhaps a un-educated, mis-breed from the South lacking refinement or overall couth, but not a “Hippie”.
I would take a chill pill dude and figure out where you screwed up, perhaps ask kindly and someone might provide assistance. Linux is as tough as you make it. Hey if it can work for me, anyone with more than a modicum of intelligence should have no sweat with it.
It’s a somewhat deep bore hole used to bring water from below ground level to the surface. We don’t do wells here or wishing, but if you have a reasonably polite question about openSUSE, someone will try to help.
If you want to rant, you are in the wrong part of the forum, so take it to Soapbox. 
what you mean under the term today it does not? your PC(hope) is not start?
did you plug power cord in some funny hole in the wall?
Any sense here at all?

Look: FFS. I TRY… I TRY.
But Linux is hopeless: If I cannot play my music…I do not enjoy: Why would I bother? WHY WOULD I BOTHER?

Thats for you to answer or decide. However, I would try the approach suggested by MattB:

Now, have a good read of this openSUSE guide. It covers setting up multimedia in section 5. Stick with it, solving one problem at a time. If you need more help, start a new thread with descriptive title to catch the attention of someone who can help. Members tend not to like rants (thats what the Soapbox section is for itf you must), but they do like to help those asking for help in a reasonable manner.
Did your music play ok, yesterday?
IT DOES NOT WORK
It might work for you, but it does not WORK!
When I want to listen to something, in windows, I click and " hey " I get the noise I wanted to hear.
In Linux I have to spend an entire day learning how the sound was made, whether I want to apply a --h or a --mrs-+3 just to get the fecker even to make a noise.
Sometimes, I would just like to listen to music.

that’s all?
open terminal and run alsamixer
it should show you if some chanel is off or at low level
try to pick them up
it should look like this

Right now, Amarok tells me it is firing music to my speakers…
Guess what?
FA
Linux ROOLZ INNIT?
Yes did alsamixer and got a 40 years old view of nothing. WHAT IS THE POINT?
Fact is, I would like to listen to music now, guess who provides?

it is not bad if you understand how sound system work in linux
the major problem is pulseaudio, from another hand this technology is very
cool, you can listen music from laptop but output will be on your desktop’s
pc sound system
windows did not give you such usybillity
complicacity(?) and variety of sound systems in linux make people crazy. you
not alone
and this also the problem to help you from your description

First I would recomend to buy yourself an iPod. Second (while you listen your fav music) try to read about GNU/Linux and then ask what you need to know politely.
As a system technician I’m not new to computers and sometimes they give me headaches. It is true that some things are easier with Windows but some are really impossible. Try to sync your Palm Tungsten E with a x64 Microsoft OS, well you better don’t because you can’t.
GNU/Linux is about learning not only using. When you master the system then everything comes easier but you have to work.

That you do not want to learn or know how to use your computer is
apparent. Just to make sure I hadn’t made up the last five years of my
own memories I went and double-clicked on an MP3 file… suddenly music
came out. Clicked on a .ogg file… music came out. Clicked on a .wmv
file… images representing some dumb video somebody sent me started
dancing around my screen. Double-checked and, sure enough, I was on Linux.
So we’re back to where you were before you decided to post originally.
You have two choices before you. In recommended order they are:
Post and specify what is going wrong, when it started, what you are
trying to do, etc., politely, seeking an answer that may suit your needs.
Post as you did, look like you don’t know anything about computers or
music, and come across as having a bad attitude besides.
The first one may take longer than installing windows, but it also keeps
your computer in shape and, ultimately, gets you a better experience. The
fact is that what you are doing should work, and you said it did
yesterday, so it’s a matter of figuring out what has changed.
The second answer gets you a lot of nowhere in computing, life, and responses.
Good luck.

I like to help users with their sound problems, but the information provided by you to guess what took place is rather slim. I suspect that is because you are experiencing high levels of frustration. If its any consolation, the more experience one gets with Linux, the less often these sorts of frustration levels can be reached. You should hear my wife rant when sound does not work under Linux on our laptop (usually because she has the mixer setup wrong (90% of the time) or because I updated the kernel and did not update the sound driver (5% of the time) or because of some application bug (such as flash - where I had to remove libflashsupport to get flash working on that laptop). I stay out of arms reach when Linux sound acts up for her, until she cools down (and until I can fix things).
Did you do an update to possibly cause this? If so, what update did you apply? You can check that by typing:
rpm -qa --last > myrpms.txt
and open up the file “myrpms.txt” with a text editor, and it will have a chronological list of all rpm apps you installed - check on the day before and the day your sound stopped working.
Also, what applications were you using the day before your sound stopped working?
There is a troubleshooting guide for sound here with all sorts of suggestions:
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
but if you can not provide more information so that this can be tackled logically, its very difficult to help and hence difficult to point what part of that guide is applicable to your situation.
Rip a CD to FLAC and send it to a clean installed Windows PC. Will not play !!! Put a DVD in a clean installed Windows XP machine. Will not play. Come on.
People try to help you, now you tell 'em they’re hippies, as if hippie were some kind of mental disease. I agree with previous poster, this should be in General Chit Chat.
No, this should be in /dev/null.
Sometimes I think to myself “Why not get a second account, post some crap and watch people feeding the troll for a laugh”.
(Beacuse frankly, here everything gets fed which was not able to climb on the top of the next tree before counting to three. Is this a field experiment if one can feed the troll until he bursts or dies of cardiovascular disease?)
