YaST — Configuration
2.4.10 Sound
When the sound configuration tool is started, YaST tries to detect your
sound card automatically. Configure one or multiple sound cards. To use
multiple sound cards, start by selecting one of the cards to configure. Press
‘Configure’ to enter the ‘Setup’ dialog. ‘Edit’ opens a dialog in which to edit
previously configured sound cards. ‘Finish’ saves the current settings and
completes the sound configuration. If YaST is unable to detect your sound
card automatically, press ‘Add Sound Card’ in ‘Sound Configuration’ to
open a dialog in which to select a sound card and module.
Setup
With ‘Quick Automatic Setup’, you are not required to go through any of
the further configuration steps and no sound test is performed. The sound
card is configured automatically. With ‘Normal Setup’, you have the possi-
bility to adjust the output volume and play a test sound. ‘Advanced Setup’
allows you to manually customize the sound card options.
Set up your joystick by clicking the respective check box. Select the joy-
stick type in the following dialog and click ‘Next’. The same dialog appears
when you click ‘Joystick’ in the YaST Control Center.
Sound Card Volume
Test your sound configuration in this test screen. Use ‘+’ and ‘–’ to adjust
the volume. Start at about ten percent to avoid damage to your speakers
or hearing. A test sound should be audible when you press ‘Test’. If you
cannot hear anything, increase the volume. Press ‘Continue’ to complete
the sound configuration. The volume setting will be saved.
Sound Configuration
Use ‘Delete’ to remove a sound card. Existing entries of configured sound
cards are deactivated in the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound. Click ‘Op-
tions’ to open a dialog in which to customize the sound module options
manually. In ‘Volume’, configure the individual settings for the input and
output of each sound card. ‘Next’ saves the new values and ‘Back’ restores
the default configuration. Under ‘Add Sound Card...’, configure additional
sound cards. If YaST detects another sound card, continue to ‘Configure
a Sound Card’. If YaST does not detect a sound card, automatically be di-
rected to ‘Manual Sound Card Selection’.
