Hello. Please help me obtain sound production in 64-bit Leap 15.3. Through several past versions of Leap and in the current installation of Leap 15.3 I have not had sound production.
Current setup:
Computer: Dell Corporation, Inspiron-15 notebook computer with an Intel Corporation i3-3227U, 1.901-GigaHertz (GHz) central processing unit with two cores having a total of four logical processors
“Host” operating system: 64-bit Windows 10 Home Edition with in its “Device Manager” under the heading “Audio inputs and outputs” “Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio)” and “Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)” and under the heading “Sound, video and game controllers” “Intel(R) Display Audio” and “Realtek High Definition Audio” appearing
Oracle Corporation VM (Virtual “Machine”) VirtualBox 6.1.22r144080 (Qt5.6.2) (with also amd [Advanced Micro Devices] or amd64 appearing prior to installing its installation file), hereafter referred to as “VirtualBox,” set using the Intel HD (probably High Definition) audio controller, based on https://documentation.help/VirtualBox/oh03s08.html on the Internet for Windows operating systems of Microsoft Windows 7 or newer.
“Guest” operating system: 64-bit, openSUSE, Leap 15.3, Linux
Leap-15.3 kernels recently used: 5.3.18-59.16.1.x86_64-preempt and 5.3.18-59.16.1.x86_64-default
In trying myself to configure the production of sound in Leap 15.3 it is possible I could have done some unnecessary or inappropriate things. For example I have PulseAudio and the software package pavucontrol installed; and from https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/Matrix:Module-hda-intel on the Internet I produced the file alsa.config in the directory /etc/modules-load.d, which prior to that file’s production was an empty directory. Below I include the contents of the file alsa-info.txt.SbzBSPhsaa, which was produced after executing the bash (Bourne-Again SHell) script file alsa-info.sh, version 0.5.0 via the command
./also-info.sh
in the directory /usr/sbin in my Leap-15.3 installation.
Having sound in Leap 15.3 hasn’t directly been important to me in some previous versions of Leap. But in Leap 15.3 I’d like to have the sound software working properly and afterward see if the problem of sometimes being unable to “boot” into Leap 15.3 using the Linux kernel 5.3.18-59.16.1.x86_64-default disappears or not.
I often like to be able to understand things. However, this time I would pleased to at least have some working, sound, computer software in Leap 15.3, even if I would not understand how that software would work and work with my computer’s hardware. Concerning computer software I guess that my setup of a 64-bit, Windows-10, “host” operating system with VirtualBox as an application within that “host” operating system and Leap 15.3 as a “guest” operating system within VirtualBox might be a fairly common general setup for Leap-15.3 users using VirtualBox.
Contents of the output file alsa-info.txt.SbzBSPhsaa split into three successive parts over this posting and the next three postings in this “thread” of postings:
