No Sound SuSE 10.0 Should be working
Ok, so here it is. It was working, I installed VMWare 4.5.2, still worked, then all of a sudden, while working and listening to music, it shut off, and I haven't been able to get it to work since.
Here is some info: uname -r 2.6.13-15.7-default ----------------------------------------------- lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 59552 0 snd_mixer_oss 19072 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 52368 0 snd_seq_device 8716 1 snd_seq snd_intel8x0 33760 4 snd_ac97_codec 91260 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2560 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm 93448 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec snd_timer 24708 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 60804 14 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9312 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10888 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm -------------------------------------------------- cat /proc/modules | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 59552 0 - Live 0xf8ec9000 snd_mixer_oss 19072 1 snd_pcm_oss, Live 0xf8e9e000 snd_seq 52368 0 - Live 0xf8ea8000 snd_seq_device 8716 1 snd_seq, Live 0xf8e93000 snd_intel8x0 33760 4 - Live 0xf938d000 snd_ac97_codec 91260 1 snd_intel8x0, Live 0xf9359000 snd_ac97_bus 2560 1 snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xf8858000 snd_pcm 93448 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec, Live 0xf930a000 snd_timer 24708 3 snd_seq,snd_pcm, Live 0xf92ca000 snd 60804 14 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer, Live 0xf92de000 soundcore 9312 1 snd, Live 0xf9252000 snd_page_alloc 10888 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm, Live 0xf903e000 --------------------------------------------------- cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound options snd-intel8x0 enable=1 index=0 # W60f.0p1d2eFRi_8:82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 --------------------------------------------------- Jan 3 14:21:12 LSSUSE-01004839 kernel: snd_page_alloc: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.

In yast, it shows as installed, and under the hardware probe it says it is active. What can I do other then re-installing to get my sound back? Would I have to possibly recompile my Kernel? |
Here is the output of the ls for my /dev/dsp

You can try alsaconf in the console. It will reconfigure the soundcard. But I am not sure if it will work. It look like a Suse issue, not an alsa issue.
I always compile my own kernel. It is many things I don't need in the suse kernel, and it is very easy to change the family processor in order to get a faster kernel. In most case, you can even remove the generic x86 option. A good thing to do is to change the extra version of the kernel, so you will get a new modules tree in /lib/modules. (It is an option in the config menu for that, or you can edit the Makefile, it is the line 5 if I remember well.). By doing this, you still have the original kernel in case of problem with the new one. When using initrd, I prefere to run "mkinitrd -k <kernel-name> -i <initrd-name>" at the place as just "mkinitrd" as sugested in the SuSE manual. "mkinitrd" on suse will do an initrd for each single kernel in /boot, and it is no need for that. "man mkinitrd" is your friend. |
Ok,
As sad as this is going to sound, I found the problem. Although I am getting the errors above, I created a new group called clamav for the clamav software, and my user was a member of it, and not a member of the "users" group. I changed my access to be in "users" and not in clamav, and all seemed to work just fine. I also gave my user some other group access, but I think it is just the "user" one that really mattered. So yeah.. for all the people reading this, make sure you are in the right group. I also added my user to the "Audio" group. W |

I am considering compiling my own kernel, and I have virtual machines to test that on :) I did do this though: make xconfig (made no changes) make all make modules_install Just to see if it would just refix any of my things but it didn't.. and like I said above.. it was the stupid groups. |
