OpenSUSE Hardware :: Audio Driver Not Initializing After Every Boot Up?
Jan 8, 2010
openSUSE 11.2 x86_64 (ADM64), KDE4 (everything is up to date) ...
As in the Subject, after the machine boots up and I'm logged in, there is no sound using local software (video or audio, such as VLC) or web-based (as in Pandora, ....., etc).
So I have to bring up Yast -> Hardware -> Sound, then Delete the current driver, then select "Add" to re-add it ... it detects the hardware fine, and sets up the sound driver, and I then get sound. However, when I shut down the machine and eventually fire the machine back up, no sound.
I ran dmesg and saw nothing out of the ordinary. All appropriate files/entries exist in /etc/modprobe.d/
What can I do so that the driver is loaded at each startup?
I had a response out in alt.os.linux.suse who said the problem went away when they switched to GNOME ... so is this possibly a KDE issue? (I haven't tried restarting and running GNOME versuse KDE).
and hangs for another 120 seconds. In X11 I have no sound at all even after running alsaconf with no errors. My sound works perfectly in Ubuntu, so it's not a hardware problem. Are the two problems related or are they two separate things? Any help here would be hot.
I use centos 5.3, the problem is my network is not starting when the machine is restarted everytime, i checked everything in the network scripts, and logs which is indicating dat everything is initialising at boot time, wat and wer will b the problem.
I have been using windows operating system for a long time now, but I am not well familiar with linux. Whenever I used to install Windows, I used to install the corresponding audio drivers(in order to listen to the music). The problem I am facing is that I do not know how to install the audio drivers(if they really exist in linux Mint 10 operating system). As a result I am not able to listen to any audio file due to lack of corresponding audio driver programs. make proper configurations settings so that I can listen to audio files in Linux Mint version 10.

I have been trying to install pidgin via one click from the software sources and I can download the file fine but whey yaST2 starts, it hangs for a while and I get error. Also I can't get any updates as the same issue appears.
I got this error An error occurred while initializing the software repository Details: /etc/zypp/repos.d/Packman_repository_(openSUSE_11.2).repo:Line 2 is missing'='sign Try again? what is wrong???
when the YaST2 started there is no any repository and I tried to added new repository I got the error Adding repository Main Repository (OSS) failed
I am new to Linux, how to install codecs, as when I am trying to install I am finding this error. An error occurred while initializing the software repository. Details: Url scheme is a required component and sometime like repository can be loaded.
after installing 11.4 I can no longer boot into KDE using the ATI driver from their website. Same thing happened prior to 11.4 but I assumed it was an out of date driver so I updated SUSE + the driver, no difference. Boots straight to command line. I was getting errors about the Xorg.conf.old file unable to be overwritten when I tried 'Xorg -configure'. I did find a few solutions from other threads and simply deleting Xorg.conf allows me to boot into KDE using the default (whatever that is) graphics driver (fps is very low but it boots at least).
Any time I reinstalled the ATI driver/tried to use it it would die again. After a bit of searching around the log files for Xorg and X11 I found an error about "display not found" or something of that nature and then it was giving up and booting to cmd. had it working fine in the past prior to a software update (either driver or kernel or both, I don't remember) so I'm not entirely sure what broke it. I can give more specific error details once I get home in an hour or two but I'm just wondering if the latest ATI driver (11.2? I think it is) is compatible with openSUSE 11.4 and if anyone has a solution to this problem.
I just installed SUSE 11.2 as dual-boot with WinXP on an older system that has a 160GB PATA drive and a 500GB SATA RAID drive. I left about 80GB on the PATA drive unpartitioned to accommodate SUSE. During the initial installation attempt, SUSE was determined to install on the RAID drive instead of the PATA drive, so I disabled the SATA drivers in the BIOS to force the installation on the PATA drive. This was successful, but now there is no access to the RAID drive from SUSE because there is no driver and it is not mounted. I reactivated the SATA drivers in the BIOS and the RAID drive reappeared in WinXP with everything intact. The SATA drives now appear in SUSE under Hardware Information as "/dev/sdb" and "/dev/sdc" and the listed driver is "sata_sil".
So how do I get the RAID drivers installed in SUSE and then mount the drive so it can be browsed/modified from Dolphin? I would also like to be able to browse/change this drive from other computers on my home network through samba, just like with WinXP.
I have behringer UCA202 usb card, after plug to usb, it just works , I have only small problem with alsamixer, which still shows by default my integrated HDA Intel, I could switch it by F6 or by alsamixer -c 1no problem, but I expect that default card is now plugged "USB audio", so why alsamixer recognize default audio device as HDA intel and not a USB Audio ?anyone who has two or more sound cards with the same issue ?
I'm thinking of installing openSUSE-11.1 Gnome on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo 7400M laptop because the wireless in Gnome is much more user friendly than KDE3/KDE4 in openSUSE-11.1. The idea is to give this laptop to my 84-year old mother and things need to 'just work' for her (she currently has a desktop running openSUSE-11.1 KDE3 that uses a WIRED interface to the web).
I refuse to update this laptop to openSUSE-11.2 nor 11.3 (nor other recent distributions) because every kernel update after the 2.6.27 kernel has broken the Intel i855GM graphics drivers for that laptop. There are many bug reports and none have fixed the problem for this Fujitsu-Siemens implementation of the i855GM graphics.
Hence I am looking at Gnome.
I booted the laptop to a Gnome openSUSE-11.1 liveCD and wireless is easy and works great. But audio is very very VERY bad. It is incredibly user unfriendly and it does NOT work well. I assume that is because pulse audio in openSUSE-11.1 was very immature.
I note these updated packages in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository:
Code:
So my question is, did the updates to pulse audio (in the openSUSE-11.1 update repository) fix the pulse audio situation? Are there ANY helpful views on this?
Currently my wife is using this laptop with KDE-4.4.4 (and openSUSE-11.1) so I can't just install Gnome and play with it without taking the laptop away from her for a while (note the hard drive is too small for a dual boot of KDE/Gnome).
dell inspiron e1505 3.2 gb ram 1.86 ghz intel core duo ati x1400 gfx opensuse 11.4 kde 32 bit.
okay, here are the details: can't play any audio with amarok when desktop effects are enabled because the minute a window is moved, it will distort the audio. even when disabling desktop effects, some applications still cause this. can't play videos videos even with desktop effects disabled because of the same reason.
i just switched from ubuntu and when i ran version 11.04, i had to disable kms to do anything. i tried on opensuse 11.4 and the audio was flawless but the gfx went all to hell.
since i installed nvidia proprietary driver on opensuse 11.3 my boot-image is gone. This is not really in issue but i would like to have it back. is there a way to get it back or a bootimage howto or something?
I installed the nvidia driver from the official repository for openSUSE 11.3 and now everything works perfectly, except i get a verbose splash screen after the grub menu.It has worked after i upgraded from 11.2. In my menu.lst it already says splash=silent.If you want more information, please ask, because i don't know where to look or what to show you (i'm fairly new to linux in general).
I am attempting a Network installation of openSuse 11.3 on an old desktop which has IBM Boot Manager so that I can boot to one of three OSs, openSuse being the third. Sadly the installation of openSuse fails before the CD initial boot has finished. Looking at the text log of the starting process the problem appears to be a driver and the last line of text where it stalls refers to eata driver.
There are 4 hard drives in the machine, configured as two RAID 1 arrays driven by a DPT 2144W hardware raid card. (Very old but very good). If I Google eata I get a good deal on SCSI raid and DPT cards but I am out of my depth when they say a kernel module is needed.
Another concern is that the RAID arrays are configured using a bootable DOS configuration disk and once this is done they are recognized by other OSs such as eCS and OS/2. The arrays are just treated as single drives so these OS installations do not interfere with the card configuration. I am concerned because I cannot afford to lose the data on the drives but it appears the linux driver might want to rebuild the arrays.
I am new to opensuse, having migrated from Ubuntu. I have had some difficulty with power management on Ubuntu so i decided to install opensuse with kde as i heard it was good for laptops. I have had lots of trouble getting opensuse 11.4 to boot properly and to run without freezing.
I have trawled the forums and bugzilla and the documentation, e.g. SDB:ATI - openSUSE and SDB:Configuring graphics cards - openSUSE. Consequently i am now able to boot (normally), however whenever i open any application, e.g. Dolphin file manager, Firefox, etc, the tab starts to load (little circle starts spinning on the tab), and then it freezes.
At this point I can exit X Windows and enter the text mode. I have repeated this with the FGLRX and Radeon drivers running. This is always repeatable. I can also boot into level 3 and do things there.
My computer details are: HP Pavilion dv6 3032TX Processor - Intel i7 720 QM Ram - 6GB GPU - ATI Mobility Radeon 5650 Harddrive - 640GB 5400rpm
[Code]...
What i have tried so far:
1. First 4 steps on SDB:Configuring graphics cards - openSUSE 2. Install and run FGLRX
Note that i cannot failsafe boot - it never boots into X Windows and just hangs. I really do like the look and feel of opensuse and would love to use it, but at this point my only option is to try another distro.
on my PC I have 2 sound drivers, one from the mainboard (AC97) and one PCI card (ES1969). Because the mainboard sound path did not recording, I installed the PCI sound card and with 11.1, I managed it to play and record all audio data. With 11.2 the PCI sound path plays the system sounds (suse start-up or shut-down sounds) but not the streaming audio data (skype, flash player). But these are played by the mainboard audio instead. The audio-tests from yast->hardware->sound work for both paths. How should I configure the system to redirect the audio streams to the desired (PCI) audio path? The PCI audio is set as primary sound card and is not muted.
This is my 2nd try with 9.10 and audio has this screeching thingie that its driving me crazy. I've been using both 8.10 and 9.04 with perfect sound and everytime I come into 9.10 I have this horrorific sound that no matter what I do I can't fix it. In a thread somebody suggested to change the audio channels from 5.1 to 7.1 (which made sense since my hardware really is 7.1). but there's no 7.1 option available.
When I do lspci -v... I can see that:

I bought an MSI Wind U135 Netbook. It came with Windows 7 Starter, so I installed Xubuntu and Enlightenment first thing. I have gotten everything to work except for the audio. It seems that there is an audio driver installed and in use (The Intel HD Audio driver), however, I can turn all channels up and nothing plays. The beep driver works, and if I turn the Microphone channels up too high then I get loud feedback from the speakers, but nothing else will play. I have tried multiple kernels, including from Ubuntu Netbook edition. All have the same problem. I was unable to determine what audio card is actually present in the machine, MSI's website is a pain, and I couldn't find anything conclusive online. I purchased the laptop in Taiwan, but I believe it is the same as the US version hardware-wise, except for the Chinese on the keyboard obviously.
I've installed both fluidsynth and qsynth, but get this error everytime I run qsynth. I'm trying to use my m-audio keyrig 49 just to practice playing the piano. I don't really care about having a whole DAW and whatever, I just want to play my keyboard. Maybe there is a better way than qsynth? Also, this happens:
Code: /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa restart Loading ALSA mixer settings: /usr/sbin/alsactl restore No state is present for card K49 [code]....
I don't know that it has to do with my qsynth problem or not. I just thought I'd throw it in just in case it does. Also, xmms recognizes my keyboard in the alsa preferences, where the mixer device is.
I have a struct (small instance so not using code brackets )
struct random { int a; int b; }example;
What i am trying is
example={0,0};
and it gives an error how to initialize all the entries within a struct to zero? In the above example i have used integers but what if they are some other data structure for example another structure?
I am using semaphore.h I declared a variable of type sem_t. I am able to use the variable without even calling sem_init or sem_open, and it is working properly.if the variable is automatically assigned some value? Also would I run into any trouble doing so?
I have downloaded mplayer svn slackbuild script for slackware 12.2 and converted into tgz package and installed it on my slackware 12.2 system. I was using it with slackware 12.2 early and it worked fine. i formated my hard disk to give slackware 13 a try. and later when i installed slackware 12.2 and installed mplayer it is not opening i mean not initializing when i click mplayer icon from the multemedia menu or if i click a videofile and tell it to open with mplayer both ways its not working i tried reinstalling mplayer but still not working.
