Quick Start Guide

respective entry and click Delete.

7 Click OK to save the changes and leave the YaST sound module.

Procedure 2.2 Modifying Sound Card Congurations

1 To change the conguration of an individual sound card (for experts only!),

select the sound card entry in the Sound Conguration dialog and click Edit.

This takes you to the Sound Card Advanced Options where you can ne-tune

a number of parameters. For more information, click Help.

2 To adjust the volume of an already congured sound card or to test the sound

card, select the sound card entry in the Sound Conguration dialog and click

Other. Select the respective menu item.

3 For playback of MIDI les, select Other > Start Sequencer.

When a supported sound card is detected (like a Creative Soundblaster Live,

Audigy or AWE sound card), you can also install SoundFonts for playback of

MIDI les:

4a Insert the original driver CD-ROM into your CD or DVD drive.

4b Select Other > Install SoundFonts to copy SF2 SoundFonts™ to your

hard disk. The SoundFonts are saved in the directory /usr/share/

sfbank/creative/.

5 If you have congured more than one sound card in your system you can adjust

the order of your sound cards. To set a sound card as primary device, select

the sound card in the Sound Conguration and click Other > Set as the Primary

Card. The sound device with index 0 is the default device and thus used by

the system and the applications.

6 To enable or disable the PulseAudio sound system, click Other > PulseAudio

Conguration. If enabled, PulseAudio daemon is used to play sounds. Disable

PulseAudio Support in case you want to use something else system-wide.

The volume and conguration of all sound cards are saved when you click OK and

leave the YaST sound module. The mixer settings are saved to the le /etc/asound

.conf and the ALSA conguration data is appended to the end of the les /etc/

modprobe.d/sound and /etc/sysconfig/hardware.

YaST can be used to congure a local printer that is directly connected to your ma-
