I don't hear any sound.
System: Dell Inspiron 1100
Distro: Suse 9.2, kernel 2.6.8-24, KDE 3.3.0 Dual Booting with Win XP And I'm totally new to this OS. I don't hear any sound. The system is not on mute. I don't have the foggiest clue as to how to begin troubleshooting this... Thanks for your patience and help, James Carruthers |
Start with this link:

It's probably a question about permissions.
You should be in the right group to be able to listen to audio. If you have an audio group then pu your user in that group. check out http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/doc...und-HOWTO.html This is not recommended but if you just "want it to work" you can change the permission on your devices you need to play audio check in you /dev directory after /dev/mixer /dev/snd/ /dev/sound and do chmod 777 /dev/mixer chmod 777 /dev/snd/ -R (because it's a directory, R for recursive) and so on.. you also need a mixer, aumix for instance is easy. you have to boost up both pcm and volume good luck |
Problem fixed! Thanks so much!
