Question No sound on Sony VAIO PCG-TR1A using SuSE 9.2


Hi,
As I stated in the subject line I have a Sony VAIO PCG-TR1A and am running SuSE 9.2. I can't seem to get any sound. I have the BIOS volume set to 6 and the volume controls on my KDE desktop all the way up. I don't have any sound with playing DVD's or mp3's. YaST2 is telling me nothing is wrong. I'm not getting any error messages that I can find, so I don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Check the mixer (I think it's a mixer), if there is an "external amplifier" option, try disabling (muting) it.

Thank you. My alsamixer had the external amp on, turning it off did the trick. Thanks for all the help oomfoofoo.
