New SuSE install, sound not working
 
Just today I installed SuSE 9.1 personal. I have tried playing cds, but there is no sound produced. In YaST my soundcard shows up. My volume is turned up and my speakers are good and loud. I'm a bit of a noob to linux, so any help would be great, thanks.

Install aumix. Type aumix. Make sure pcm and master are turned up. Kmix(the default gui for kde) is a turd in most cases.

thanks, I'll give that a try tomorrow when I'm not so tired and groggy.
I'm assuming this aumix can be install using YaST like all other SuSE stuff?

If you still have trouble, try:

Code:
cd /dev
cat urandom > dsp
This should send random garbage to your sound card. If you can't hear it, then your card isn't configured properly. (driver, etc.)

Press ctrl+c to stop.

I should have come back before to say that I figured it out. Thoreau said to replace Kmix . It turned out its actually called kamix, so when I typed "kamix" it brought up a mixer box thingmy-bobber that had a mute checkbox turned on for the CD and the Master.

Good, good.
And thanks for not leaving us hanging too long.

forget it, I got it working

The easiest way to install software in SuSE is through YaST. I am using 9.1 and it had no problem fetching aumix for me from SuSE's ftp mirrors (using "install and remove software").

Of course, you may have figured that out. :)

(I have an ftp installed system. For those installing from CD/DVD, YaST will ask for the appropriate disk.)
