No sound in Suse 11.0 with Audigy 2 card

Bill_Hwy · 06-23-2008, 02:16 PM

Just installed Open Suse 11.0 to take a look at it. Lots of changes from 10.2/10.3--looks much better. I haven't been able to get any sound through it. Does anyone have any experience with this yet?? What did you do to make it work???

the system:
P4 2.8
512mb RAM
Nvidea fx 5200
80g HDa--WinXP, PCLOS, Suse
30g HDb-Archives, etc...

Hi,

I havn't managed to install suse 11.0 on my system yet, am havig a few difficulties, but that's in another thread.

If you open the audio mixer make sure that the IEC958 switch is turned off.

Also make sure that the audio device/mixer you are using is CA0106 and that the analog front vloume is turned up and not on mute.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answer Alexie...

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I think it's much too soon to be asking questions about this distro--it was only released last week. No one except the Suse people know much about it yet. I'll give it another try later on. I don't think I like the KDE4 much anyway.. I think it has bugs...

Finally installed it and am quite comfortable with the gnome desktop, havn't tested out KDE yet.

Back to the topic at hand.

The following worked for me, but vise versa. I'm using the on board sound not the my cheapo SB card.

Assumming you have on board sound, remove the sound card from yast, leaving only the Creative card. Once done, click on Edit for the creative card, then Restart all. Anyway, go to Next, you might need to restart the sound system.
