I’ve been searching through and tried a bunch of the solutions people have posted. I’m relatively new to linux so it may be something simple. My issue is that I have the sound all set up yet it still won’t come through the speakers. I ran the volume meter which shows that it is playing yet still nothing.
I’m running SUSE 11 gnome. I use the onboard sound which is, MCP55 High Definition Audio. Any ideas?
Have a check here
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
Working your way through the audio troubleshooting guide recommended by caf4926 is likely your best first approach.
If after trying the audio troubleshooting guide, you still do not have sound then we will need more information on your PC in order to help with sound … ie …with your PC connected to the internet, please start by copy and pasting the following diagnostic script into a gnome-terminal or konsole with your PC connected to the internet:
wget http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/tsalsa && su -c 'bash ./tsalsa'
and when prompted for a password enter your root password. Please try to accurately estimate the number of jacks/plug you have when asked (for example, I have 3 i/o sound jacks on my PC), and when the script is complete it will give you a URL. Please post that URL on this thread.
Also, in addition to the above, please copy and paste the following commands one line at a time into a gnome-terminal / konsole and paste here the output of these commands:
rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound
Are you using gnome or kde? and if openSUSE-11, which kde version?
