Hi all,<br>
<br>
While I love my opensuse/kde systems dearly, sound has always been
a hassle here. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't work
at all, sometimes it works half.<br>

At the moment, I have a desktop running opensuse 13.1/KDE 4.11.5
on which youtube sound through Firefox works, but apparently
nothing else. CD-playing, local music files, other-than-youtube
movies trough Firefox, (e.g. <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://vimeo.com/blenderHack/stabilizerdemo">http://vimeo.com/blenderHack/stabilizerdemo</a>)
do not work.<br>
<br>
In all these cases (including the one where sound is indeed
reproduced!) kmix says there is no sound stream being played.<br>
<br>
The sound card is a Xonar STX, which indeed is granted a tab in
kmix. But the menu "Configuration->Sound configuration" shows
no hardware at all, only the PulsAudio server. On the other hand,
"Configuration->Select main channel" says the current mixer is
Xonar, and the channel representing the main volume is the Master
of the Xonar STX.<br>
<br>
I tried to remove/re-install the Xonar with Yast (the main
configuration tool of opensuse), but no luck. Testing the card
from within Yast works fine, though.<br>
<br>
Frustrating is that is *has* worked a certain time, until some
upgrade (i keep the system in sync with the 13.1 repos for
opensuse).<br>
<br>
Anyone any idea?<br>
<br>
(BTW, I also have a laptop running opensuse Factory, which behaves
just the opposite: everything works, except for Firefox sound...
But that's something for another thread.)<br>

Problem solved.<br>
<br>
I came across
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/499971-Can-t-configure-sound-card">"https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/499971-Can-t-configure-sound-card"</a>,
where was suggested to throw away /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf, and
let Yast configure the soundcard again. For that problem it didn'nt
help (it appeared to be a hardware problem after all), but in my
case it solved the problem. While the old and new
/etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf are exactly the same.<br>
