No sound, clicking noise - TW

English Hardware
1

I just installed suse TW, Im using an HP pavillion all-in-one desktop. For some reason I have no speaker sound and it makes a clicking sound on and off. Headphone sound works though. Ive looked around everywhere online but without luck. I tried installing Realtek HDA driver but it says Im misisng the kernel source (I have it and also the kernel headers). https://imgur.com/a/Ub1d9If

When trying to set up the sound driver through yast I have this output https://imgur.com/a/lpFRW77. There is no error. Im really lost as to whats missing, any help is greatly appreciated.

Sharing that information might allow others to advise further.

FWIW, here’s a thread from an Ubuntu user describing similar…

A Mint thread, with same issue (similar hardware?) described…
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1876822#p1876822
In particular, half way down thread, the user mentions…

Machine cold start no speaker sound, except random(?) loud clicks.

The suggestion was to blacklist the ‘snd_hda_codec_realtek’ driver by doing…

echo blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

…and reboot. The OP claimed that this did te trick for their situation.
