I’m using an old Dell Inspirion 1000 to install (from CD) a fresh version of open suse. Installed is the AC’97 Sound Controler. Hast detects it, but I still can’t get any sound. I’m especially frustrated as I want to set up Skype, but no sound. Any suggestions? Please be gentle I’m not a super techie. Thanks
Have a look at this SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
It might just be as simple as actually having to go to Yast - Hardware - Sound
select the device and choose ‘other’ and adjust the volume (set the slider to about 70%), use the test sound. Then edit, next…OK

Thanks, actually stumbled onto that, now I have sound, but trying to use Skype and no sound there. If you have some ideas, would appreciate. thanks
