I recently got my sound working on 9.3. I was unable to play streaming windows media, and eventually lost all sound. Here is what finally worked for me.
1 - Install mplayer and mplayer plug-in from packman.iu-bremen.de (A) 2 - Turn off all "sense" detecting options in mixer. 3 - Sound worked (A) I ran into library dependency problems by installing mplayer package seperately, it was much easier by simply installing it using Yast from the packman site. To do so, add Yast HTTP install source (server name: packman.iu-bremen.de, directory name: suse/9.3 [or 9.2 if you are still using that.]) Then go to install software and search for "mplayer" and install. Thanks for everyone's help. -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: Suse sound problem I can't remember entirely off the top of my head, but try running yast, remove your sound card and then re-add it. Also you might want to try selecting alsa in menu->system->configuration->multimedia systems selector Stephen On Thu, 2005-05-26 at 16:49 -0600, Eric Jensen wrote: > Because of that Gnome problem I had earlier (which lead to much bigger > problems while trying to fix it) I ended up just re-installing Suse > 9.2.
