Ok, I have now managed to get some form of sound working by configuring the system to use the default snd-intel8x0 driver that comes with SUSE 10.0. The problem is that programs that use ALSA cannot find the soundcard - they throw an error complaining that the "default" device cannot be found.
My current /etc/modprobe.d/sound looks like this:-
Code:
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
Here is an example of what happens when programs try to use ALSA for sound. In RhythmBox Music Player for instance, trying to play a song results in this error:-
ALSA device "Default" does not exist
Another example is Totem Movie Player. When started, it produces the following error:-
Totem could not startup.
The requested audio output was not found. Please select another audio output in the Multimedia Systems Selector
I created a ".asoundrc" file in root as per the alsa-project website instructions with the following in it, but still nothing:-
Code:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
I noticed none of my system sounds through GNOME work either, so far only Firefox and the games that come with SUSE 10.0 have sound.
I'm only guessing this is an ALSA problem, but I could be [read: am probably] completely wrong.
Please, please, please help me with this one! I beg of you! Help restore my sanity for Christmas!!!
