Make sure that your modules are loaded.

If they aren't, then load them.

Also, alsa is muted by default. To unmute alsa go into...

and unmute it. To save the changes so you wont have to go back into alsamixer again...

thanks, but it didnt work.

dhcppc0:/home/geir # modprobe yoursoundmodule
FATAL: Module yoursoundmodule not found.
dhcppc0:/home/geir # alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
dhcppc0:/home/geir # alsactl store
alsactl: save_state:1061: No soundcards found...
dhcppc0:/home/geir #

Linux dont find the soundcard.


Regards

Haha, I didn't mean "modprobe yoursoundmodule" literally. Replace "yoursoundmodule" with your sound card's module. Eg. Mine is emu10k1, so I'd use
modprobe emu10k1. What brand is your sound card? Post the output of lsmod.

Hrmm....

You took what he said a bit too literally

What he meant was that you should first check what the sound module for your card is called, which you can do here http://www.alsa-project.org. Then you do a lsmod to see if that module (driver) is loaded.

In your case I think the module is called snd-intel8x0 so the command would be modprobe snd-intel8x0. Also remember that all the commands listed have to be run as root.

but my soundcard dont stand there, u can check it ur self.
its a onboard card called:

Karajan audio module
- Realtek ALC850 8-channel audio CODEC

This is what who comes when i write lsmode:

In your first comment you used the term nF4. Do you mean nForce 4? An important thing to understand here is to know the difference between the card manufacturer and the chip manufacturer. Realtek is a card manufacturer, this means they buy the chips on the card from someone else and just put things together. It is the chip(s) that's on the card which defines it.

If your motherboard is indeed a Nforce4 board that means Nvidia made the chips on it. If you look under Nvidia on the alsa page you will see that it says nforce there.

i aint sure. the name of the motherboard had that name. but can someone help me with the commands to the soundcard?

Well Suse clearly thinks it's a Nvidia board because the module snd_intel8x0 is loaded (It's on the top of the list). Ok since the module is loaded and ready go to the next step. Open a console and type su root to login as root. And then type alsamixer to check that the sound volume is turned up. If it is not turn it up.

this came then:

dhcppc0:/home/geir # alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
dhcppc0:/home/geir #

and i cant use the " Volume Control" on the menu" if i use that button a error comes:

Direct access to sound device not possible:

No soundcard avaible or sound support not configured yet, However, the application uses or requires sound support.

Ok can you please post a printout of the command: ls -l /dev/snd

dhcppc0:/home/geir # ls -l /dev/snd
