Check all the settings in Yast
I use a sound card in preference to onboard.

Check your mixer. Many audigy users have trouble navigating thru their mixer options. Please take a look at this guide for audigy users in setting up their mixer:

tried to play test sound and it started, I heard it, then it quickly stopped and I tried again to test it then it would not even start.

I am puzzled…

Me:~> head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec*
head: error reading `/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0’: Is a directory

Again I am stuck please help. Thank you so much.

I think you were unsuccessful in following the first link that I provided:
[Solution] Creative Audigy 1/2 + 11.0 + KDE/GNOME + ALSA - openSUSE Forums](http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/386773-solution-creative-audigy-1-2-11-0-kde-gnome-alsa.html)

where for kde it notes you should switch ON your “Audigy Analog Output Digital Output Jack”.

When I look at the tsalsa script output for your mixer I note:

Amixer contents for card 0 [Audigy2] _____________________________________        
amixer set 'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack',0 off

You have it inappropriately switched OFF.

Please read and try to follow the URL that I provided.

Thankyou and good luck.

Thank you now I have found the problem. When I switch on the Analog/Digital output and run the test sound it starts then stops immediately. When I check the mixer the analog/digital output is suddenly switched off. How can this happen? I switch it back on, then the same thing happens every time.

What have you tried to do, in order to save the settings ?

Have you triedsu -c 'alsactl store’to save your sound settings?
