Suse 9.2 SB Audigy 2 problem
|
|
|
I'm a linux virgin - just installed Suse 9.2 for the first time. It's picked
up my Audigy2 soundcard but i can't hear any sound at all ! I've checked the
volume but still no joy ! Any help appreciated.

What worked for me was to go into the SuSE hardware tool and actually
configure the card. It detected it just fine but without it being
configured it was totally useless.

Like John said, check it isn't muted, but also check that it isn't
defaulting to outputing to the digital interface if you have analogue
speakers or to analogue if you have digital amp connected...

Hi Oliver |
the following to get your'e sound
# Make sure all mixer applications have been unloaded. If not, you should
see a speaker icon on the tray beside the clock in the lower right corner.
In this case, right-click it and select Quit from the context menu.
# If the question [Should KAMix start automatically immediately after you
log in?] pops up when closing the mixer, confirm with Yes and skip to steps
13 and 14 of these instructions.
# Start the YaST Control Center and select Software -> Install and Remove
Software.
# Search for "kdemultimedia".
# Right-click the package kdemultimedia3-mixer then select Delete from menu
that opens.
# Press Accept in the lower right corner.
# Finish the YaST Control Center.
# Open a console (e.g., press [Alt]+[F2] and run the command konsole.
# Enter the command su - in the console.
# Enter the administrator's (root) password when prompted to do so. No
characters (asterisk or similar) are displayed when typing it.
# Execute the following commands in the given order:
* rcalsasound stop
* rm /etc/asound.state
* rcalsasound start
* alsamixer (browse to audigy A and press m to unmute the sound)
* alsactl store
Good luck

Open Kmixer
Goto the switches tab
Set the Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack to on.
I always have to do that. 9.1 and 9.2.
Seems something defaults Audigy2 to digital output.

I don't know if this will help you, but I had to bring up a terminal and
then go into alsamixer. There is an option in there that switches it from
digital to analog. I had to switch it to analog to get any sound. Hope
this helps.

That's what I have do with my SB Audigy2 card. Then I have to use the ALSA
Mixer to adjust the surround sound. It sounds great!
