Yes
I configured the sound card via YAst

But still It is not working yast auto detected the sound card

But when I go to test the same I find it is still not working
and when I open my XMMS player and click on play button I see the progress button ..but  No sound.....

Is it because VIA sound cards are not supported by SuSe
how do go about trouble shooting

Hi

After Playing a lot with settings in KMixer finally I was able to get sound...

I think in the Suse Users guide this clearly needs to be mentioned as a
newbie would not be having an idea as to what is going wrong ....

I think basically the Kmixer or any sound mixer remaining mute by default
would give anybody impression that sound system itself is not working

As even with Yast the Test sound button would also not work
beause it has to do with Kmixer or any other sound mixer being used...


This clearly needs to mentioned ..... in user guides  :arrow:
