Re: [opensuse] Lost sound (KDE4)

I ran an upgrade of my sons desktop machine over the weekend, and it has
now lost sound completely. Via YaST, I've deleted and reconfigured the
soundcard, but this had no (apparent) effect.
The card is currently detected as "d330 uT' with driver snd-intel8x0 -
I'm afraid I don't know if that was also the previous config.

AFAIR, the kmix application used to show several miscellaneous sliders,
but they seem to have gone too. (replaced by 3-4 tabs with streams).
Any suggestions on how to get sound back? (apart from reinstall).

Is there really not a single app that plays sound or just KDE? Does it not
work either for a new user?

You could have a look at the phonon backend via systemsettings > multimedia >
phonon. For xine it sometimes helps to remove the ~/.xine folder if updating
its plugin list screwed things up. Pulseaudio may play a role, you can
enable/disable it via YaST. You can also try the different phonon backends
available, i.e. gstreamer and vlc.
