Hey, first post here. Yesterday, everything on my openSUSE 11.2 distribution worked perfectly. However, when I booted it up today, Savage 2 mysteriously had no sound. When I checked the sound options, the default intel onboard sound card was not listed, and after going through yast>hardware>sound, the card is still listed, but in Other I noticed that the volume sliders are missing.

I can still play sounds through Amarok, and the startup sounds are working.

Since this occurred after a reboot, I believe this may be due to a software conflict, but since I am fairly new to linux I cannot find a way to see which packages were recently installed (like a sort by date) to find the culprit.

Any advice?

EDIT: Upon reboot a small notification from Phonon comes up, reading:
"The audio playback device HDA Intel (AL C888 Analog) does not work.
Falling back to ."

are you using ALSA drivers on your distro or what? if yes, try from console with alsamixer, maybe it is only disabled. Did you tried with another sound device from the list?
