Do you have internet access on your PC?

If so, to provide more information, can you copy and paste the following into a gnome terminal or kde konsole and then paste here the URL that is provided:/usr/sbin/alsa-info.shPost just the URL.

If that script doesn’t work well as a regular user, you may need to run that a couple of times with root permissions … ie
su -c ‘/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh’
enter root password when pompted.

jean@linux-mvrk:~>

it’s really strange, i’m posting by internet so i have a connection ?

Did you enter your password? Which openSUSE version are you using?

Try it instead this way:

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

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

I do not know why this is not working … maybe you are behind a proxy or corporate firewall that is blocking this.

Instead, could you run that script such that it saves a local copy (to /tmp I think - it will tell you where) and then copy that output to a pastebin site such as PasteBin.be or general pastebin - simplified internet collaboration. To run the script locally, type:/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh --no-upload
and then go to the text file, and copy and paste its contents, uploading the contents of the generated file to a pastebin site such as:general pastebin - simplified internet collaboration
or
PasteBin.be

which one ?

The script tells you which one. It is pretty clear (for a native english speaker). Unfortunately it only tells one in English, which makes it more difficult for non-native English users to read.

Please open this file:
/tmp/alsa-info.txt
and post the contents to a pastebin site and post here the URL provided by the pastebin site.

Note, I am NOT at a Linux PC right now, and I am doing all of this by memory. Hopefully I am not making any mistakes.

general pastebin - alsa-info.txt jean 29012009 - post number 1321829

Are you certain that paste is complete? The mixer section is missing from that paste!

I note your laptop has an AD1986A. Searching on the alsa site for the AD1986A I obtain this hit:
Search results for AD1986A - AlsaProject

Note there was an update in 1.0.19 of alsa adding the option laptop-eapd for the Asus A6J …

You could try that (even though you have an A8J) .

Do that by updating your alsa to 1.0.19 of alsa per the guidance in this page:
Alsa-update - openSUSE
being careful to update alsa, alsa-plugins, alsa-plugins-pulse, alsa-tools, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, alsa-firmware, libasound2, and also alsa-driver-kmp-pae to the latest versions specific to openSUSE-11.1.

Then restart your PC and test your sound.

If that does not work, edit your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file, changing it to:

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-eapd
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
# u1Nb.9BSLEmIsn_3:82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel 

restart your PC and test your sound.

Also, check your mixer settings carefully. Because you provided an incomplete script output I did not check your mixer settings.

Congratulations on getting sound to work. I assume ( ? ) it was an update to alsa . Did you also have to add the line to your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file ?

Why not remove those nvidia repositories from your software package manager ?

Did you also have to add the line to your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file ?

no

Why not remove those nvidia repositories from your software package manager ?

I’ll try, i’ve no idea how to do that, i’ll inform you

but the problem is not nvidia repositories, it’s rather the latests lines about fxload and my cd-dvd recorder ?

another problem is :

when i use mozilla each first page i try to open i have an error message :

Adresse introuvable

Firefox ne peut trouver le serveur à l’adresse Portail Alionet.

Le navigateur n’a pas pu trouver le serveur hôte pour l’adresse indiquée.

i click on retry and it’s ok, i think it’s a parameter somewhere…

nvidia repositories are removed

I recommend you start a NEW thread on those two issues.

The title of this old current thread “sound issue on asus A8J” is not relevant to the fxload and cd-dvd recorder issue.
