OpenSUSE Hardware :: No Sound - Reinstalled Drivers - No Success
Jan 9, 2010
The only problem I've encountered so far is with my soundcard - a Soundblaster Audigy (basic version). I'm dual booting with XP and followed the exact same procedure as with 11.1. Used GParted to shrink the Windows partition (and yes, I did defragment beforehand) First there was no sound with Opensuse, which didn't really bother me too much as I assumed I needed to d/l some drivers, so fine. I restarted and booted into Windows and find that I have no sound in any applications, yet they appear to be playing, mp3, waves etc and no problems indicated by windows or other programs, in effect the card is fine but not outputting. Reinstalled drivers - no success. Uninstalled the soundcard from Device Manager, didn't work either. In the end I had to physically remove the card,
reboot into windows, then shutdown, insert the card again, then install the drivers. This fixed the problem, but anytime I boot into Opensuse, the same problem occurs, very strange. I'm thinking there may have been a problem during the partitioning stage, maybe some stubborn little windows file didn't want to move during defrag' and got lost. That's the only idea I have at the moment. Tried to remove the Grub Bootloader with 'fixmbr' command, but it still loads.

I borked my perfectly good 11.2 install, while replacing a failing hard drive. I reinstalled, and now my sound doesn't work - or not quite. I get the left front channel, nothing else. Battle Duel crashes due to sound errors - or I probably wouldn't care.

I recently upgraded 9.10 to 10.04. I have Nvidia 9400 GT which drivers I had to reinstall after upgrade. Initially it was lot of work to get the drivers working on 9.10 and who knew for 10.04 it was even harder for me. I was trying to install this version NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.24. followed basic steps like quiting X server first, backing up and then removing xorg.conf file then rebuilding it etc etc ..
After all that, reboot and resolution messed up. My original resolution was 1600x900. Now its on 1024x768 and I tried absolutely everything what is discussed on Linux forums to fix it but no luck at all. Now about error msgs. When computer starts window pops up saying "Fail to initialize NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your system kernel log ...." Then it gives me some options where only two works 1) restart X 2) Load ubuntu with low resolution. Both of these options bring me to 1024x786 mode.
Second error msgs: when I go to 'NVIDIA X server settings' window pops ups saying "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." When I go to Preferences > Monitor this msg pops up "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead?" and it tells me that it can not recognize monitor even though it did before I tried to install drivers.
Here is my xorg.conf file (I tried to add some lines to it so it might be little different. I still have original which does not work either).
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder75) Fri Mar 12 01:42:27 PST 2010

after few years being limited with my pc configuration (windows OS) I realized that linux or it's distributions is the best invention in 21 century. And finally I am starting use it. openSUSE 11.4 installaition succesful, I updated it and it looks I don;t have any problems, but I got few questions.
1. How install older version of mozilla firefox internet browser here? I can't install some plugins because it's a firefox beta 12 version, for example. I am quake fan, o I like play quake live, but i can't install quake plugin, because my firefox is beta version.
2. Does I got all drivers instantly installed to my mashine? ATI video drivers, sound drivers ect??
3. Are there any How-To guides which can teach me, how I can improve my desktop? gadgets, 3D desktop ect...?

I know, why did I uninstall Open Office. Well I am running 11.3 with KDE 4. I did a clean install in December 2010. This is the first time I have updated an old database. I updated the database and then opened a new writer document and pressed F4. OpenOffice closed.
When I recovered the documents I tried F4 again and it closed. So I looked on this forum and found this: OpenOffice crash if I view database Post #8 seems to have the problems solved. So I went to YAST and unticked OpenOffice. I then went to OpenOffice.org and after reading the information about distributions own packages. Also realising that it was a tar.gz, I got cold feet and decided against installing from OpenOffice.org.
I went back to YAST and ticked OpenOffice, but it does not appear to be there anymore. I tried the start icon (bottom left corner), but it is not in there. I have tried opening a document, but it was opened with Okular. I think I have not ticked a box I should have. OpenOffice has a lot of entries in YAST, how do I capture the information so I can show it here? Or do I need to take several screenshots.

I'm testing some (selfwritten) installer scripts and I'd like to test it on several linux systems. From my script, I create a database and a user, which should have no rights but to the objects created on that database. I create that user with "grant usage on <dbname>.* to 'user'@'%' identified by After that, the user exists, but is not allowed to login with mysql client (same procedure works fine on debian systems). At first thought, I supposed, that I did a mistake on database setup, but then I realized, that I could connect from a different workstation using that user.
To me it looks very strange, that that user sees information_schema and test, but not the database, I used at user creation. From my script I check success of db and user creation by using the created user for connection and exec a 'show databases', which should show the new created db. What am I missing with mysql on Suse systems? Is my expectation wrong, did I make a mistake on database setup or what do I have to change to validate success of my script?

Thought I'd give back to the community, at least something. HP OfficeJet 6500 success! Print/Scan/Fax Opensuse 11.1 Go here and download to your desktop. HP Linux Imaging and Printing Then simply do the konsole thing to run the installer, then easy to follow the prompts that appear. I'm hopeless and even I can do it, just look at all my previous noob questions. You then have printer, scanner that work perfect. (Gnome 11.1)The printers are quite cheap, $128AUD Dick Smith etc

After installing an external sound card, Im having some weird issues. The cards chipset is fully supported by suse, (CM8738) so I dont think thats the problem. Besides, I'm getting sound, but not in some applications. The system's sounds work just fine (login, logout themes) amarok plays without any problems, kaffeine, mplayer they all work flawlessly, in fact I can see the difference in quality between the onboard sound and my new card. However, no web browser is able to play any sound at all, firefox, opera or chrome, nothing,zip. Plus, vlc cant reproduce sound either, nor can smplayer.
I've tried switching channels on and off(muting)in kmixer and in alsamixer, on the console, with no results. I disabled the onboard audio on the bios before installing the new card, however my ati video card has integrated sound, which I cant disable.... I used to get this exact same problem randomly with the onboard sound, but I just had to go to kmixer and turn up the "pcm" channel volume, which was set to 0, and I had sound again on my browser. However this card's pcm channel is at max and turning it up or down affects the whole systems volume, not just the browser's. Is it better to just reinstall the sound system, if so how could I do that.

I have severe sound issues with my sound card. I am on a dell E1505, by now I am assuming there is some kinda update I have to get for this to work right, like the wireless driver. It's all static and causes programs to not run right, then when you go to close the programs effected, they freeze up..

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my brother's computer. He has his sound system connected via the 3.5MM audio connector, but he also has an optical port on the back of the computer we have yet to try (he has cable and all though) but I doubt that will work versus the 3.5MM audio connector. His ethernet also doesn't work, he doesn't need it as he has a Linksys wireless PCI card and that works as of right now.
I also am not sure about his current graphics driver, in Windows XP he could have his native screen resolution which was either 1920x1080 or 1920x1200, I'm not at his place right now so I can't find that out. On Ubuntu he can only go to like 1400x1050 I believe, which isn't nice on his 23" monitor.

Is there any projects that provides compatibility wrappers to run windows sound/graphics drivers in Linux ,similar to the ndiswrapper or DriverLoader (see:- [url]) to run network drivers in linux ? It would be really nice if there is a linux port for win32prn project.

I seem to be missing drivers for my Gateway laptop MA7. I have looked in System->Admin->Hardware Drivers, but it does not show up in there.There are also no devices listed in Sound->Hardware. I'm guessing at this point that I don't have the driver installed.
However, I get the following output code...

I have been trying to get sound to work through the open source HDMI drivers, does anyone know how to do this?
I get a perfect picture through HDMI but no sound. The ATI HDMI option is not muted and is enabled. I dont know what else to do. I opened a terminal and did "aplay -l" and I can see the device in there. I DO get sound using the proprietary drivers supplied by ATI, but I get screen tearing and makes the picture look horrible.. So for now its Sound vs Picture quality... Why cant I have both :/

Ok, so I have Linux Mint 7 "Gloria", using kernel 2.6.28-11.
I got a new GeForce 8400GS and replaced my ATi pile of sh*t with it
no problem, Mint starts up fine as if nothing happened. code...
Everything seems fine, so I reboot and all seems fine, except when
I try to play music or a video I get no sound at all. I'm fairly
certain that something in the first links instructions (the Ubuntu ones)
removed something it shouldn't have, but I have no idea what to look
for.

I've been having this problem for many months and I have finally isolated it to the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53 driver (downloaded direct from the NVIDIA website).
I have an Asus A8N-E ACPI BIOS Revision 1013 Motherboard (which has a built in Realtek AC'97 soundcard).
My video card is NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO
I am running Slackware 12.2, KDE 3.5, Kernel 2.6.27.31.
My problem is: Sound quality when only playing song files through xmms, songbrid, Amarok, etc... is garbled. Although games, Movies, DvD's, Video files, all sound through that media is perfect and clear.
I have already used Slackware 13, KDE 4.2.2 and I thought the problem was with KDE 4+ so I reinstalled to Slackware 12.2 and KDE 3.5. Everything was working great until I installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53 driver so my video card works like it should and games work under Wine.
But I am at a loss on how I can get the soundcard working. I suspect something within the NVIDIA driver is conflicting with my soundcard.
