I can't get about sound output on my laptop (ThinkPad Z60t). This has worked previously with the other distros I installed from the original Ubuntu to SUSE 11.1. I have tried the hardware buttons (mute, up, down) without feedback or success. The sound "applet" from pulse audio show it is unmuted and at 77%. Changing that, no dice. Sound preferences show the application playing the music. There is only one output, internal audio and it is selected. Gstreamer-properties, same. It also appears on the sound preferences. One thing: when I installed F11, the sounds had been muted previously under openSUSE 11.1 using the hardware buttons. Not sure it is relevant though. Also, I remember back when I installed Ubuntu, I had to use the gnome-mixer to enable the "Front" channel. There is not such thing visible in PulseAudio sound preferences. Kernel is Linux grinch.figuiere.net 2.6.29.3-140.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue May 12 10:44:10 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Audio device is: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)
Could you please have a peek on this mail from Adam: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-April/msg02321.html And then attach the amixer outputs here, before and after trying to fix the mixer settings with "alsamixer"?
Created attachment 345920 [details] alsa info before alsa info run when there is no sound.
I just did "alsactl init" and it works.
Created attachment 345921 [details] output of amixer -c0 this is the output of "amixer -c0", but at that point it already works since I did "alsactl init"
And by work I mean I had RB playing music, and suddenly, the music was in the headphones when I did "alsactl init", which is all I wanted.
Ok, if alsactl init fixed your issue, then this was simply an upgrade issue. Closing.
