No sound in openSUSE, sound in XP

Hi all

Odd problem - I’m running KDE 4.4 on openSUSE 11.1 64-bit. I am getting no sound. I have tried testing in YaST and get nothing. If I try the KDE settings, nothing comes up - I click on it and the settings window closes. KMix is showing volume as being 100%.

When I run XP under VirtualBox, I get sound…

Any hints/tips?

KDE-4.4 in 11.1 ? Sorry, thats too cutting edge for me. I won’t help something that cutting edge as the problem could come from a cutting edge KDE or it coud come from elsewhere.

IMHO with openSUSE-11.1 one is better sticking with KDE-4.3.5, in the knowedge that the openSUSE-11.2 “official fixes” for KDE-4.3.5 also get migrated to the stable (but “unofficial KDE stable directory” ) for openSUSE-11.1. And hence problems with sound due to KDE4 should not occur.

My recommendation, which you probably do not want to follow, is to roll back completely to KDE-4.3.5.

OK, thanks anyway. I switched to 4.4 as I got totally fed up with NotworkManager …er… not working.

I’d rather have internet than sound. It might get better on its own!:slight_smile:

Check your sound device priority in the KDE multimedia / phonon configuration.

I have 4.4.x series /w X-Fi working with no issues whatsoever. It’s stable as rock.
