So I'm not the only one who has extreme difficulty getting *any* sound
out of openSUSE 11.3..... And here I thought it was just me!
Getting sound in 11.3 is exactly the same as trying to get sound working
under Ubuntu: get rid of pulseaudio, or otherwise read the threads on
this subject in this mail list about how to "do things with [the crap]
pulseaudio to get sound working like it was under alsa".

Once you know how to get sound under Ubuntu then you know what to do to
get sound under openSUSE 11.3.
You just KNOW I can't let you get by with that without a rebuttal!

I know that.

What kind of sound card/chip do you have that doesn't
like pulse?

I have always used Soundblaster Audigy cards. The one in my computer is
Audigy 4 and in my wife's computer the earlier model.

When I installed Maverick on her computer a couple of weeks ago, I had
to kick pulseaudio up the Khyber Pass into the stratosphere before I
could get sound working. Same on my system. But once I get sound working
putting back pulse is OK because the sound then keeps working.


I>HATED< pulse for the longest time until I quit using alsa
tools and mixers and stuck with pavucontrol.

Pavucontrol is just a piece of goats' droppings (how are yours going,
BTW, the goats not the droppings? :-) ) because unless you get the sound
working pavucontrol is as good as teats on a bull.


Now, it works exactly like
I want it to, and find switching between sound sources and outputs to be
a dream come true. Merry Xmas Basil! Stay out of trouble, as you "upside
down people" are wont to do. :) Ric

"Merry Christmas!" BAH! HUMBUG! :-)
