Hi,
I was able to get the sound working from the microphone and headset
jacks on my HP dv2000 laptop this evening. I should mention right from
the start that having reread my previous post it would lead one to think
that I had no sound output at all with alsa with Opensuse 10.2. That
wasn't the case, the speakers worked right after the install of 10.2.
My post referenced a problem that I had seeking to get the microphone
and headset jacks to work so that I could use skype.
I continued to research the problem on google, and was able to get both
the microphone and headset jack sound working properly. Here is the fix:
I downloaded the latest alsa package from here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver
<ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver>
1) I extracted the file from the tarball to desktop
2) I opened a terminal and 'cd' to the desktop location of the
extracted file
3) In terminal:
./configure --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes
--with-cards=hda-intel
make
su
password
make install
4) Restart system
5) In Skype I selected one of the four or five configurations for the
microphone one by one until I found one that would work without
distortion. The laptop speakers mute automatically when I plug in the
headset in the headset jack.
Anyways, success! I hope that this will help someone else who has the
same problem.
