Need to Plug in My Headphones to get Any Sound Anywhere.

English Multimedia
#1

Strange problem. I have no sound in my main speakers. They are plugged directly into my snd card. If I plug my headphones into the front panel of my box everything works - including the main speakers. The front jacket is connected to a header on the card. All cli and Yast tests and devises work fine on both the headphones and speakers, as long as the headphones are plugged into the front jack.

Following is the alsa-project URL of the info output and other information. The card is a Xonar DS with a CMI8788 Oxygen HD audio chip and snd-virtuoso is the right driver as far as I know.

IMHO you should write a bug report. There is guidance here: openSUSE:Submitting bug reports - openSUSE and you can use your openSUSE forum user name and password to log on to bugzilla. Write the bug report against component ‘sound’. Attach to the bug report the text file alsa-info.txt you get from running:


/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload

ensure your bug report is complete as the SuSE-GmbH packager (who is also an alsa sound driver developer) will not read a forum thread. Monitor the bug report every couple of days, and if you see a NEED INFO flag then reply to the SuSE-GmbH packagers questions, and after you answer the query be certain to CLEAR the NEED INFO flag. Thats important, else the packager will miss the fact you replied to the question.

Good luck.
