Have a custom machine which I just converted from Fedora to OpenSuse as I moved the OS to the laptop and very happy with it.
I can’t seem to get any audio, so looking to seek out some help. This looks like an intel-hda sound card built on an Asus-p3b motherboard. I went throught the link http://http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AudioTroubleshooting and will provide the info hoping that is all that is needed to get sound working.
cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.16rc2 (Thu Jan 31 16:40:16
Lastly, I tried the alsaconf app, after the box popped, it gave the exit, left me with;
Your ALSA information is located at
Please inform the person helping you.
No URL, but hopefully that’s enough info to get some responses.
Try to update your kernel to to latest version, then use yast to configure your sound card. Also check your sound configuration in yast and KDE and make sure they are configured correctly, if not then you can start to troubleshoot I had the same problem
I just got back from vacation, and I am going thru the various sound threads to see if I can help out at all.
I note you have an Asus P5LD2 motherboard with an ALC882 audio hardware codec, with openSUSE-11.0 and the older 2.5.25.5 kernel and alsa 1.0.16. … The latest kernel for openSUSE-11.0 is 2.6.25.11, although IMHO having the latest kernel should not affect your capability to get sound with this PC.
Could you paste a copy of your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file? and also what alsa software you have installed … ie type in a gnome-terminal/konsole: cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -q libasound2
and paste the output here?
I also note in the ALSA-Configuration.txt file (from the alsa tarball) for the ALC882 file, the following options that can be applied as a “model=something”
ALC882/885
3stack-dig 3-jack with SPDIF I/O
6stack-dig 6-jack digital with SPDIF I/O
arima Arima W820Di1
targa Targa T8, MSI-1049 T8
asus-a7j ASUS A7J
asus-a7m ASUS A7M
macpro MacPro support
mbp3 Macbook Pro rev3
imac24 iMac 24'' with jack detection
w2jc ASUS W2JC
auto auto-config reading BIOS (default)
Its possible you can add one of these options to the end of your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, with the correct syntax (thats important), and your sound will work. But I need to see your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file first.
So its possible an update to alsa may also help you (and I can point out some rpms to you as well, when the time comes, to ease the simplicity of the update). … but first, please a copy of your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, and alsa, and also please, in addition, provide a confirmation as to what kernel you still have in use? ie please also post output of: uname -a
