OK, thanks. Before we try anything too exotic, lets take a look at your mixer settings:

!!Amixer output

ok i opened the mixer and everything except the pcm was muted once unchecked i re-ran the speaker test with positive results.

sorry for the level 1 question

thanks for the help

I’ve done a couple KDE4 installs and each time I had to enable “audio” in user management. It’s the first openSuSE release I’ve had to do this.

Oh, and you don’t have to do it in Gnome.
