Sound suddenly stopped working. [Intel Sound]

[felipe1982]

Where do I start? My sound isn’t working. openSUSE 11 GM GNOME. I did some updates last night, rebooted, and sound didn’t come up. I tried re-installing (using yast) all packages with the search-words “sound” and “pulse” and “audio”. Reboot -> nothing changed. Not sure what to do next. Thanks for reading.

Hi
The sound server in Gnome is probably disabled. Go to the Control
Centre-> System-> Sound on the ‘Sounds’ tab , are the two top check
boxes checked, if not check them and play a test sound. Then on the
‘Devices’ tab set the events to ‘Autodetect’ and then test.

YES - that did it! I feel kinda dumb I didn’t think of doing that. Thanks for the help
