Sound Doesn't Work

I was repartitioning my drives a bunch to get linux to work and I eventually got it all installed, but now my sound doesn’t work on either of my operating systems… I’ve read forums for hours and have tried the fixes, but nothing seems to work. I’ve also gone through the OpenSUSE audio troubleshooting tutorial. I’m new to linux, so maybe I’m just a huge noob, but I’d really love some help with this. I ran some alsa program and got this link showing stuff:

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2567d2e3c01efcb4f4a2f708010110ec22ce1d42

I’m running Opensuse 11.1, my motherboard is ASUS P5QL-EM and the audio driver is Realtek ALC1200.

Things that worry me:
No codec is installed
It says that “No soundcard detected”
I try to configure it through Yast, but it says "An error occured during the installation of
82801Ji (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller

The kernel module snd-hda-intel for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

Please help me!! Thanks.

Did you run through this
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

Yeah, that’s where I got the idea to run /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
to get the alsa log that I posted.

What does this give:

cat /proc/asound/modules

linux-zdrh:/home/kelly # cat /proc/asound/modules
linux-zdrh:/home/kelly #

Apparently nothing?

In Yast - Harware - Sound
Have you tried to set snd-hda-intel as sound card 0

Hmmm, no-- I don’t know how to do that?

In Yast - Harware - Sound

What shows in there?

Now that intel option is gone-- probably from me messing with the settings. Now all it detects is some 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller. In my initial description of my problem I posted that I had tried to configure this as snd-card-0.

It says
Index Card Model
Not configured 82801JI(ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller

Show me like this

Go back there in yast and click the edit button and just OK your way thru it, see if that does it.

From a terminal do:

/etc/modprobe.d/sound

> but now my sound doesn’t work on either of my operating systems…

that (above) points me toward a hardware issue…maybe something
became unplugged…is yours a lap top and maybe during partitioning
you damaged some (usually hidden) data that your laptop manufacturer
was using to ‘make’ the hardware work with windows?

or, did you (while pulling your hair out) knock the box off the desk
and the sound card loosened… :wink: or what?

oh, did you have to mess with the BIOS any to get openSUSE to boot?
did you accidentally wiggle a sound setting in the BIOS?

what is your other operating system reporting about the sound?

I thought it was a hardware problem, too, but the computer repair guy that worked on my computer for a week said that he got the sound to work “once” on a live boot of OpenSUSE. Maybe this was so he didn’t have to honor the warranty…

I was trying to plug in my HD front sound panel on my motherboard while it was turned on (I know, it was really really stupid). There was some shorting out and the system turned itself off. Maybe I bumped some of the wires around or something? Or maybe I just fried the whole thing.

I’m lost for words. And those that come to mind should not be mentioned in a public forum.

Regardless of my stupidity, the computer repair guy said he got the sound to work once off of a live boot, so doesn’t that mean it’s NOT the hardware?

well WONDERFUL, you come here after smoking your machine and waste all
this helper time and THEN mention this…rude.

bye.
