[SOLVED] acer aspire 7520 laptop sound

[Kumado]

I bought a new laptop for work +. I installed Suse 10.3 pretty easily. The sound shows up as configured but I get no sound. Not through the headphones or the main speakers. It has a dial knob on the side for the volume and when I adjust it, the mixer panel pops up over the speaker icon and it shows it adjusting with it.

Any thoughts on what I might do?

Thanks

In a console window become root by

su
then the root password (note this does not echo to the screen)

type
alsaconf

you should hear a sound at the end

If you can not get it to work after trying gogalthorp's suggestion, you could try working your way through this openSUSE audio troubleshooting guide:
AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

If (and only if) you get stumped while following that guide, please post here:

a. URL output of the two diagnostic scripts:
AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE

b. output of: rpm -q alsa alsa-utils alsa-firmware alsa-driver-kmp-default

c. content of your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file

Thank you for the help.I am on Suse's site now working on updates.

I am sorry but at home I can only get a 26400 dial-up connection. I have fiber at school but I am a teacher with little time to search very deep on things. I thank you much for the help.
