I have installed OpenSuse 11.1 KDE 4.1.3 and am having problems with sound. I am using MCP51 High Definition Audio driver. At first, I can here sound but the volume gets lower and lower until you can not hear it anymore. I am new to linux so can someone help me?
Please check your mixer settings.
When your sound is gone, can you provide more very detailed information so a good recommendation can be given? For openSUSE-11.1, you can do that, with your laptop connected to the internet, by opening a gnome-terminal or a kde konsole and twice copy and paste the following into that terminal/konsole
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
Run it the 1st time with root permissions. It will ask if you wish to do an update of the script. Select YES.
Then run it again (as either a regular user or as root). This time it will diagnose your PC’s hardware and software configuration for audio, and it will post its output on the Internet/web. It will give you the URL of the web site. Please post that URL here. JUST the URL.
I’m currently on vacation, so it may be 3 to 4 days before I reply.
I got the problem fixed. I just followed the instructions
