No Sound with OpenSuse15.0 on MSI Motherboard,
by TheSingerMan from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52NY1)
At one point, I did have audio with my system; do not know if it was the upgrade to Leap 42.3 or Leap 15.0 which broke it (suspect the latter).
[Why did it take so long? Almost all of my use is for reading emails, posting home finances (which often is done on a Chromebook) or editing digital photographs. So, last week was the first time I needed to listen to anything for a long, long, time]
I use integrated audio with my MomBoard. It appears that I have Intel integrated audio with a Sunrise Point-H HD Audio sound card. My monitor does not have speakers, so I have a pair of external speakers plugged into the phone jack on the monitor. The monitor gets an HDMI signal from the computer. Also using KDE desktop.
I have tried some suggestions which Google have found for me:
I have reinstalled pulse audio.
I have commented out esound in the pulse audio configuration file
I have run pulseaudio -k followed by pulseaudio -vD, with the following result:
After a Large Boatload of information messages I saw:
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup complete.
which was encouraging. Then, after 6 more messaages I saw:
I: [alsa-sink-HDMI 0] alsa-sink.c: Device suspended...
E: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
^CI: [pulseaudio] main.c: Got signal SIGINT.
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Exiting.
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon shutdown initiated.
Which was depressing
Then after 40 or 50 more type 'I' messages, things closed with
I: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon terminated.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Most of what I have found in the Interwebs are directed toward Ubuntu and/or laptops, neither of which apply to my situation
[Why openSuse and not something more attuned to desktop use? Because I get paid to manage Oracle databases on openSuse, and I need to be able play with it at home]
