http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi, I've just did a fresh installation of opensuse (openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64)) and have a few problems. If anything of that was already discussed and solved, please point me in the right direction, i was unable to find anything. 1) Right after the installation, I tried changing the Desktop Theme. After that, mysteriously all the titlebars disappeared from the windows and I was unable to open the applauncher. What was that?! KDE died? 2) I was happy to see that flash in Firefox was working right out of the box since I was unable to solve that while on live CD. Even youtube was working. Interestingly, now I suddenly get no sound from youtube. I tried running Code: speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav as I've found someone suggested to test the sound. I get nothing. However the annoying welcome and shutdown sound of the OS works well. 3) There's a crazy penguin boot screen. How can I disable it and start loading the OS straight away? Thanks in advance, I'm thankful for any help. HW: Lenovo T400 C2D T9400, 3GB (Distributions)

Hello,

having spent the last few days trying to solve the sound problems, I have moved a step further, but still some help would be *higly* appreciated.

I have a fresh installation of OpenSuse 11.2 32-bit. My soundcard is Terratec EWX 24-96. The card is detected in Yast, and I can play

Recently installed 11.2x64 with KDE4.

Everything is working great (excellent release!) with the exception of sound.

The sound works well when only one app needs it, but sound only works for one app. If another program is open, it has no sound.

Some examples: - If I am listening to an .mp3 with VLC, I don't get sound in a movie in SMplayer.

No soundcards found 3 years 15 weeks ago

I'm running OpenSuSE 11.2, 64-bit version, and after some system upheavals I now have no sound. Other indications of what is wrong (redacted to remove redundancies):

Code: suillus2:~ # speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav

speaker-test 1.0.18

Playback device is plug:front Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s)

Flash no sound 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hi there, I recently updated to 11.2 - everything is running smoothly, except sound with Flash in Firefox.

I installed the latest plugins (32 bit also) from Adobe's website and download.openSuse and checked that the volume is cranked up - no sound with Flash videos (youtube and the like).

When I log in, the welcome sound plays.

Hi,

I'm getting puzzled: I don't want to use Amarok any more, as I don't like the new interface in 2.x and don't find a way to install 1.4 within OpenSuse 11.2.

openSuse v11.1 linux 2.6.27.39-0.2-default x86_64 realtek acl1200 codec

Sound for various devices is at best erratic. It is hit or miss whether sound emits at any given time.

Sometimes Flash player (in Firefox) has sound, sometimes not.

Annoying Shutdown beep 3 years 27 weeks ago

Hi all,

Firefox and DownThemAll 3 years 28 weeks ago

Hello,

I have installed openSuSE 11.2 x86_64 with KDE 4.3 on a VGN_AR41L. I use firefox for web browsing and I have installed the add-on DownThemAll for download manager. In Windows when a download finishes the DownThemAll add-on produces a sound. This does not happen in openSuSE. My sound card works well because I can hear sound from Youtube videos.

Any advice?

I'm using a Lenovo (IBM) Think Pad R51.

Here is the link to the website with sound debug information:

HTML Code: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6778adff58222571f915433c61089f641b8cdaeb I get terminal output from a sound test that suggests all is fine:

Code: speaker-test -Dplug:front -c2 -l5 -twav
