Troubleshooting

In case you do not get any audio output, check the following:

Sound Card Configured?

Check if your sound card is properly configured with YaST. For more information, see Abschnitt „Einrichten von Soundkarten“ (Kapitel 2, Einrichten von Hardware-Komponenten mit YaST, ↑Start).

Volume Control in Mixer Application?

Check the volume control of the master channel and the other channels available in a mixer application. For more information, see Section 19.1, “Mixers”.

Volume Control via Keyboard?

Many keyboards also have keys for controlling the volume. Check the volume control keys of your keyboard.

Volume Control of the Application?

Most multimedia applications also provide volume controls. Check the volume control in the application that you use to play music or movie files.

Sound Configuration in Personal Settings?

Check the defaults for the sound system configuration in the Personal Settings. Access them from the main menu by selecting Configure Desktop. In the Personal Settings, click Multimedia to open the Sound and Video Configuration.

External Devices Plugged In Properly?

In case you have external devices like loudspeaker or headphones connected to your machine, check that they are plugged in properly and that they are connected to the right ports.
