First, thanks to anyone who tries their hand at helping me out with this. Just got done installing openSUSE 11.3 with the fantastic support the forum brings, but now I notice there is no sound coming from Firefox (v3.6.8) with Flash v10.1 . Nor do I receive the new message sound for the Facebook chat. I do have sound at start up (the start up chimes), and I do have working sound in Amarok (with glorious mp3 support, thanks to YaST2). Is there a plug in that is needed, or is there an incorrect setting?
Never mind. PCM on KMix handled the sound for me. This thread is solved.
Happy to hear you found the solution.
