Sound, VLC setup

FWIW, info only

After clean install of 64bit version sound worked ok.

after initialization of sound cards via yast-sound
the additional package was needed

alsa-firmware-1.0.29-3.2.noarch

vlc did not play encrypted film-dvds before install of

libdvdcss2-1.2.13-5.2.x86_64

should not these packages be included as dependencies?

You’ll find the need to change vendor to Packman necessary to acquire and run multimedia codecs which are not completely free. Unlike some other distros, SUSE/openSUSE takes a very strict stance on any apps and libraries that are not completely free.

Find the number your Packman repo is by displaying your repos as follows

zypper lr

Noting the number of your Packman repo,

zypper dup --from *Packman_repo_number* 

Now, whenever a package exists both in OSS and Packman, Packman packages will be given a priority.

Your problem should be solved.
