no sound!

Hello i’ve a laptop fujitsu-siemens, with opensuse11 but i have no audio. I’ve tried to play some mp3 from the local hard disk, but it can’t play them, (a red x appairs…the volume is at maximum, neither when surfing internet (ex, youtube etc…)…can someone help me?

Try working your way through the openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

To test if your sound is working, I recommend you try copy and pasting the following into a gnome-terminal or a kde konsole:speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twavyou should hear a lady’s voice saying “front-left”, “front-right” five times.

If that does not work, then to provide more information, with your PC connected to the internet copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole:

wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa && su -c 'bash ./tsalsa' 

when prompted for a password please enter your root password. Please try to accurately answer the question on the number of plugs/jacks on your PC (for example my PC has 3 i/o plugs/jacks). When the script completes it will pass you a URL. Please post that URL here.

Also, please copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole and post the output here.rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

Once I have that information, I believe I may be able to provide helpful recommendation(s).

speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav

just works!
with realplayer is ok

on internet like youtube, no sound…

Great !!

This is easy to sort. I use MPlayer with mplayerplug-in and flash-player to play youtube sound.

Have you set up your software package manager repositories (repos) with OSS, Non-OSS, Update and Packman (and NOT Videolan as that causes problems with Packman for codecs) ? With your software package manager set up, then installing MPlayer and flash-player is too simple.

great! Thank you!

i think you can go to google to ask.
