It was working perfectly, better than in 11.4 which was still glitchy and

Wish I could help, but I'm on 11.3 (hating that I left 10.3!) and not using that
pulseaudio crap. When it self-installed during my 11.3 installation, it was garbage and
the sound either sucked or plain didn't work at times (and I've got an old Creative
SoundBlaster Live 5.1 and some extremely nice Logitech Z680 speakers that literally rattle
the windows at only half volume!). Luckily in 11.3 I was able to rid myself of that
abortion called Pulseaudio and get back to ALSA. It only reminded me of how they keep
'fixing what ain't broke' and making people be the guinea pigs for experimental software
without the ability to *disable/delete* said experimental garbage and go back to what
works.
The strangest thing though about your post...until about a week ago, suddenly and out of
the blue, I turn on some music on my system and my speakers sound extremely fuzzy and just
awful. No amount of fiddling with *anything* fixed it. This lasted for about 2 weeks. I
tried installing, uninstalling soundcard in YaST and even trying removing the card itself
from the pci slot on the MoBo and booting up, etc...nothing helped. I even booted up the
W2K partition (that I used strictly for a couple of archaic games I have (Warcraft III and
Diablo II and its expansion set) as I can't afford anything new. The M$ partition sounded
not quite as bad, but was still bad! I thought it was my speakers also and wanted to cry
as they're expensive and I got them very, very cheap because they were a store exhibit and
the screen on the sub-woofer is bashed in a bit. Then as I said, about a week ago the
'fuzzy' sound began to get weaker and weaker and now everything is back to normal.
Maybe it's Big Brother. Maybe it's aliens messing with us. Maybe it's the spew from the
OWS and Al Gore's mouth. With any luck, you'll get yours worked out soon, but if it was me
and this had lasted much longer, I'd degrade and go back to a version of suse that worked
well...I gotta have my music or the computer's almost useless to me!
Good luck with it bud.
