Not much audio

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:-

  1. click on the sound icon (bottom right of your screen)

  2. click on the ‘mixer’ button

  3. this will open the different sound options - so check the levels using the sliders

  4. 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.
