Realtek HD Sound Driver Install

I have no Sound. (no proper driver)
The onboard SoundCard = HD Audio Codec from Realtek.
I have Downloaded the Linux drivers.
But there is no installing instruction on the Site.
And my experiments are not a succes.

Ideas. Pleas.

Gr.

No need typically to download linux drivers. Your openSUSE comes with alsa sound drivers, and typically all that is needed is to configure those.

Try working your way through the openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide: SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

To test if your sound is working, I recommend you try copy and pasting the following into a gnome-terminal or a kde konsole:speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twavyou should hear a lady’s voice saying “front-left”, “front-right” five times.

If that does not work, then to provide more information, with your PC connected to the internet copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole:

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh 

When the script completes it will pass you a URL. Please post that URL here.

Also, please copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole and post the output here.rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

Once I have that information, I believe I may be able to provide helpful recommendation(s).

Here the link

I Hope its helps

Thanks. That shows your video card is not recognized.

Could you copy and pasting the following to a kde konsole or a gnome-terminal:
dmesg > dmesg.txt && curl -F file=@dmesg.txt nopaste.com/a
That will give you a URL. Please post the output URL here.

Then after that, try updating your alsa. Please with your PC connected to the internet, open a gnome-terminal or kde konsole, and type “su” (no quotes - enter root password when prompted for a password), and then copy and paste into that terminal the following commands, one line at a time:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio/openSUSE_11.0/ multimedia 
zypper install alsa alsa-oss alsa-oss-32bit alsa-plugins alsa-utils alsa-tools alsa-firmware libasound2
zypper rr multimedia
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio:/KMP/openSUSE_11.0_Update/ multimedia
zypper install alsa-driver-kmp-default
zypper rr multimedia

Then reboot your PC, and test your sound. Check your mixer.

If sound is still not working, please post run the diagnostic script again.

Please also confirm you have sound switched ON in your PC’s BIOS.

The Bios was oke, It would surprise me because Vista has no problem with the card

linux-l0le:~ # dmesg > dmesg.txt && curl -F file=@dmesg.txt nopaste.com/a
dmesg.txt - nopaste.com (beta)

After the Reboot I had some welcome Sound but the systen is still thinking there is no Sound.

Yes there was some sound but there is none starnge…

Gr.

ok … try this instead:
speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav

This is good. … Your sound card is now recognized.

I can see your sound hardware audio codec is identified as an ALC883.

I also note you have your surround and center controls off in your mixer. I don’t know if that matters but it is something to consider.

I recommend you run “alsaconf” with root permissions, then test your soudn again. If that fails, then please post here output of
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound and let me know what type of PC you have. (model, make … etc …)

Nothing Special- Standard Hardware

Ausus M2A-VM
AMD 5000+
ATI-Radeon 3600
4Gb Memory

The Last Bios

Schould work.

OK, and what was the result of my last recommendation? Specifically:

Thanks.

Goods News,

No welcome sound. But I have sound.
The Software can find the card.

I removed the ati diplay driver and reinstalled it.

After this. i was able to configer the sound Card.

There is only one issue. the updater has a problem with the realtek driver.
I will try to unstall this driver.
And hope than that everything. is than working as it schould be.

Thank you for the Help.

Hi, I seem to have similar problem here, i’m totally new cause i just started to use Linux.

I have no sound and tried the first text recommended in here but it didn’t seem to work. then the second one pasted in gnome terminal gave me this:http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ce1f668d70e0410370c7251bea1ba7af83dbb6c5

would very appreciate your help, thanks:|

Hi user vasudevan97. I see this is your first post. Welcome to the openSUSE GNU/Linux forum, designed primarily to support users of the openSUSE GNU/Linux distribution.

First, do you realize you are posting in a 2009 (7 year old) thread ?

wrt the alsa-project directory you gave there is something wrong with your PC GNU/Linux setup. Note no sound servers:

  
!!Sound Servers on this system
!!----------------------------
No sound servers found.

It looks to me like a bad install - or somethings were deleted that should not have been.

Further - I am suspicious this is not a version of openSUSE ?

Next - what GNU-Linux version are you using ? I note this


Kernel release:    3.18.0-kali3-686-pae
Operating System:  GNU/Linux
Architecture:      i686

32-bit has mostly (but not entirely) been dropped from openSUSE. I am left with an assessment that this is not an openSUSE GNU/Linux.

It is very difficult to support given the lack of information - and it is very important to state the GNU/Linux version one is using.
