Conflicts between oboard-soundcard and USB-soundcard
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:52:52 UTC
2 days in a row I had the sound missing until I rebooted. It looks like the sound works fine but nothing comes out at the speakers. I have a USB sound card from Creative labs and the onboard sound on my AMD64 motherboard. It does mess up during the installation, it is not able to sniff it. We should also be given the choice as to which one is to be used as a default. I have to remove the onboard sound card and install the USB one to get it to work. Sometimes the installation of the sound card completely fails until the next reboot. My monitor is a MV920 and is not in your list. Fedora Core has it in theirs Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 340 270 HorizSync 28-96 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "MV920 COLOR MONITOR" Option "DPMS" VendorName "COMPAQ" VertRefresh 50-160 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection
Please always split up several problems into seperate reports. Reports with several problems are _very_ unhandy. >It does mess up during the installation, it is not able to sniff it. What do you mean by that? How does it `mess up'? Screenshot and/or error-message and y2logs of this installation, please. >Sometimes the installation of the sound card completely >fails until the next reboot. What do you mean by `installation' here? The start of the ALSA-Sound-subsystem? Provide the output of `hwinfo --sound' and 300 lines of your syslog (tail -300 /var/log/messages > syslog.txt). As for the screen-information: Open a seperate report, please. This will be assigned to the responsible people and not handled further here.
Installation of sound card during installation of SuSE Linux. The problem exists in SuSE 9.2, 9.3 and 10.0. It was actually worst in previous versions. In version 9.1 that I installed on my son's computer I was never able to get his sound blaster live to work correctly. I ended up buying him a USB card which worked after disabling the onboard sound card. What happened with the sound blaster live card was that it would only work with the digital output and it was only setup for analog output, which turns out to be a sound card with no sound. During the hardware sniff at installation it is not able to recognize the USB sound card. After removing the driver installed sound card and installing the USB sound card I get an error saying that the sound installation failed. After a reboot I get the sound to work and then add the onboard sound card as the second sound card.
Still, we require the described files. You might read: http://www.opensuse.org/Submit_a_bug
I closed this bug as an reminder. If the necessary information can be provided, please reopen it.
mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED. In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
