No Sound in Open Suse 11.1 Installation- Sound Errors and Problems- Toshiba Sound Card Laptop – Update Sound Drivers

After installation of Open Suse 11.1, my sound did NOT work. An error flashed up. It worked before on previous installations, but not now!

I did a speaker test by typing the following into my terminal and it worked. You should hear a ladies voice coming out of your speakers-

speaker-test -c2 -l5 -twav

So then I updated the ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) and it miraculously cured the problem.

You can update the ALSA by going to the Open Suse ALSA update page and then go to your version of Linux or your Kernal version and proceed to copy and past 3 command lines.

One of these adds a repository, the next installs/updates the ALSA and the 3rd disconnects from the repository.

Problem Solved

If that does not work you might want to have a look at the following link-
