i used to be a fan of ubuntu but as soon as i saw opensuse, i had to change!! really nice!
I only have one problem, pc is configured completly but my mic doesn t work at all. It already used to not work in ubuntu, but still works great on windows so i don t think it s a hardware pb.
the mic is not on mute, output is working just fine.
thank you guys for trying to help.
by the way, the laptop is a toshiba dynabook tx/860LS brought in Japan few years ago. hope this is not the problem :s

i can give you a few information i found with command line:
uname -a :
Linux linux-v9zq 2.6.31.12-0.2-default #1 SMP 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
aldomaccione WELCOME to openSUSE and WELCOME to openSUSE forums.
First, is this the INTERNAL mic in the laptop ? Or is it an external mic you plugged in a jack on the laptop ?
Thankyou for the information you provided. I am not familiar with the toshiba dynabook tx/860LS . Please can you provide some additional information?
Please configure your mixer exactly the way you think it should be configured for your mic to work.
Note when testing your mic, I recommend you use a terminal with this command:
arecord -vv -fdat foo.wav
“foo.wav” is an arbitrary name I made up. Instead you could call it mytoshiba.wav or thewindblows.wav or anything …
Then assuming mic does not work, please with your computer connected to the internet type:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
and select the SHARE/UPLOAD option. That should upload a diagnostic output of your PCs audio hardware/software configuration to the internet, and give you a URL. Please pass the URL here. Just the URL.
If for some reason that does not give you a URL then run it with the no upload option this way:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload
and that will create the file /tmp/alsa-info.txt. Open that file with a text editor and paste it here: New - Pastie and press paste and post here the URL it provides.
That will provide more information that can help in figuring out your problem.
