Hello

The Problem is that my Soundblaster doesn´t play any sound at all. The
driver snd_emu10k1 seems to be correctly loaded, the volume (kmix) is set
but i can´t hear sound.
The only "life proof" i get from the sound device is, when i use the yast
sound module to configure it, i can hear when the device is started ("blub"
sound). Playing the test sound is without result.
I get no error messages.

I tried a newer driver and alsa+firmware from the gwdg multimedia repository
without success.

Has anybody an idea what i can do?

TIA

Sadly, Suse 11 uses PulseAudio to configure sound. Try detecting the
soundcard again.

BTW, PulseAudio works with several applications but not those using ESD
sound like System Sounds.

Strange, pulseaudio was not installed by default on my system. Nor has it
been installed since.

Sound was not on with my sound blaster live.
I had to change the master channel, I think to PCM ( I'm not on that
system at the moment).
Select the master channel by right click on the kmix icon.

Probably you were lucky.

Note again PulseAudio (which sucks) is beta packaged as finished.

Thanks al lot for the answers.

How can detect the soundcard again. What i id was deleting the settings in
yast and make a new automatic configuration with yast.


The master channel of kmixer is PCM.
