Most settings for audio and video are set in YaST. To do this, open YaST and click
Hardware to start the configuration. When you click Sound, YaST checks your current
configuration and displays all detected sound cards.
You can set some advanced options for the card, but unless you are trying to solve some
problem and know what to change, you should leave these alone. Click Volume to
change the default volume settings for every channel on your card. The Start Sequencer
check box loads kernel modules for MIDI sounds at boot, and is checked by default.
If YaST does not automatically recognize your card, you can add it manually in this dialog
box. Choose the card from the menu or use the Search tool to find your card. Click Next
to confirm the changes.
Configuring Audio with AlsaConf
Occasionally, YaST has trouble with certain audio cards. In cases like these, the commandline
AlsaConf tool can be a savior. This application is not installed by default, so use YaST
to install. From your desktop, open a shell (Konsole in KDE, Terminal in GNOME), log in
as the SuperUser, and type alsaconf at the prompt.
