Volume of sound is minimal compared to my MS OS, any ideas?
Welcome to the opensuse forum.
Are you using opensuse 11.3? Assuming that you are, you might want to:-
-
click on the sound icon (bottom right of your screen)
-
click on the ‘mixer’ button
-
this will open the different sound options - so check the levels using the sliders
-
if they are set high - click on the channels option and drag the ‘front’ option across (if this is set to mute - adjust this)
There is a very good guide here:-
SDB:Audio troubleshooting - openSUSE
to help sort out sound problems.
