I have configured my sound drivers several time. But after booting there is no sound.
Can anyone help me.
What test are you doing to see if there is sound?
When testing your audio, test it with only one multimedia application running at a time.
When testing, do you get sound from any applications ?
Try each of the following in a terminal, first as a regular user and then with root permissions:
- first:
speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
- second, try again:
speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav
- third:
speaker-test -c2 -D hw:0,0 -t wav -l3
- fourth, this next command has a volume meter at the bottom of its output with a changing number of #'s and %'s to show volume levels so run this command and tell me if the number of #'s and %'s are changing:
aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_*
- fifth: and also:
aplay -vv /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav
Do any of those give an indication of sound ?
Also try those with and without headphones.
Note that typically only 1/2 of those will work with a functioning system. Whats important here is to find out if ANY of those yield sound.
If those tests do not provie basic is sound working, then please provide the information requested to be given per the guidance in the second half of our multimedia stickie: Welcome to multimedia sub-area
I will quote for you:
please post in this … sub-forum, providing in your post the following information:
- provide the URLs (of a summary webpage) that are created by running the diagnostic script noted here:
SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE - Script to run to obtain detailed information. On openSUSE-11.1 and newer that will ask you to run the script/usr/sbin/alsa-info.shand select the SHARE/UPLOAD option and after the script finishes it will give you a URL to pass to the support personnel. Please post here the output URL/website-address that gives. Just the URL/website-address. You may need to run that script twice (the first time with root permissions to update in the /usr/sbin directory, and the second time to get the URL).
.
Note if for some reason that gives you no website/url/address then run it with the no-upload option:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-uploadand post the file /etc/alsa-info.txt it creates to Pastebin.com and press SUBMIT on that site and again post here the URL/website-address it provides.
.
… some clarification on running the script “alsa-info.sh” … when you run:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.shyou should get something like this (if it asks for an update, select NO):
http://thumbnails33.imagebam.com/9280/a5973e92794041.jpg](http://www.imagebam.com/image/a5973e92794041)followed by this (select the SHARE/UPLOAD option):
http://thumbnails30.imagebam.com/9280/5e84f992794044.jpg](http://www.imagebam.com/image/5e84f992794044)followed by this (its quickest if you simply select ‘NO’ to seeing the output - you will see it on the web page) :
http://thumbnails32.imagebam.com/9280/214da092794048.jpg](http://www.imagebam.com/image/214da092794048)followed by this (where in RED is the URL).
http://thumbnails23.imagebam.com/9280/d9858092794051.jpg](http://www.imagebam.com/image/d9858092794051)Just post the URL you get (similar to the RED URL in my example, but yours will be different).
Again, if you can not get that, then run this with the no upload option:
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload
which will create the file /tmp/alsa-info.txt. Copy that file and paste it on [Pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) and press submit. That will give you a URL address. Please post that URL here. Also provide the following:
- in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: rpm -qa ‘alsa’ #and post output here
- in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: rpm -qa ‘pulse’ #and post output here
- in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: rpm -q libasound2 #and post output here
- in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: uname -a #and post output here
- for openSUSE-11.1 or earlier, in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound #and post output here
- for openSUSE-11.2 or newer, in a terminal, or xterm, or konsole, type: cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf #and post output here
This post/thread is also in the wrong forum area. I am going to move this to multimedia in about 15 minutes. NNTP users please do not respond to this thread. I will post again when it is free to reply to the new thread.
I have moved this thread to multimedia and unlocked it. All users (web based and NNTP) are now invited to respond. NNTP users please reply to this post if you wish to reply.

Please, this forum is for howto submissions, not to ask about problems you may have.
Please, move this to the multimedia forum, for example.

This thread was previously moved to the multimedia forum here: Sound driver error
I tried to notify NNTP users of this move. Did I fail ?
Your NNTP post now appears as an orphan (with no thread to hang on to).
**Please do not reply to my post here **, as I am going to move both this post and your above post to the above thread now in multimedia (merging them).
Instead, please look in the multimedia forum for the moved thread.

This thread IS now in the multimedia area and I ask replies to this thread be made in the ‘multimedia’ forum area, and not in the ‘unreviewed faq’ area.
Replies can be made to this POST if one can’t find the remainder of the thread.
Thankyou.

Yes, because the move announce was made in the multimedia forum, not in howto-submissions where the
post where I replied to was. I could not see it, I looked before saying what I said.

Sorry about that. No way to know, as in my machine the original post hasn’t moved. It can’t,
actually - long term, cache.

No, I can’t see the OP here, only 3 of you.

It appears the time in which NNTP posts are generate has been changed. It ‘used to be’ every 10 minutes, at HH:minute HH:06, HH:16, HH:26, HH:36, HH:46, HH:56, HH:06, etc … So I replied to the original post, with my post at 23:50 (in the how-to-faq thread) notifying NNTP users that the entire thread was about to be moved, and then 13 minutes later at 00:03 I moved the thread. It looks like my 23:50 post went out in the ‘multimedia’ area instead of the ‘how-to-faq’ area, which indicates there was no NNTP generation at 23:56.
I need to go back and check with my fellow mods/admins to see if this timing has been changed.

You need a better method. Something to move the thread immediately and still post the “moved” post
to the old place - and leave it there. If that post moves, depending on when clients query the
server and how they cache messages, some may see the “moved” post, some not.

A moderator is always required to decide where to move the thread. It can’t be done immediately. Some one needs to spot it and move it.
As soon as the post is moved, it breaks the thread for NNTP users. There is no way around that. None. One can not recall the messages sent out to NNTP users.
All that can be done is note on the thread to NNTP users that the thread in its current area is CLOSED and it will be moved to a new area. Then wait for that NNTP notification to be released. There is NO method in the NNTP interface to release that notification immediately. It HAS to wait until the overall forum sampling is done (which is done at regular intervals) and then eventually that notification will go out with all other NNTP posts (through the gateway). Once the post is out, then one can move the entire thread to the new area, and then reply to the thread in its NEW location so that NNTP users can see it (ie they will see one post saying ‘here is the new thread location’).
What most of the moderators do is have both a web and an NNTP account and they can spot when the NNTP warning post has been released.
But unfortunately oldcpu (aka me) is an old relic who tried NNTP twice, hated it both times, and refuses to use NNTP. Hence when I move a thread if I have my timing/understanding wrong, there is a risk I will move the thread before the notification post is released. That is likely what happened, and the fault is mine. Since using NNTP is not a choice for me (as I refuse to try again) the options are I either get the timing down better or I no longer move posts to the correct areas.

Obviously, that’s what I mean. I meant that the job runs as soon as you order it, not have to wait
10 minutes for some cron job in the server. Or that the software takes into account that delay and
you don’t need to do that yourself.

Or a different system.
Something else, in the forum interface available only to admins and moderators, that allows you to
move a thread while leaving a lone “thread moved” notice in the nntp interface, do the entire job
automatically. Shoot and forget.
