Open Suse 11.0 - Toshiba A200-H01 - Speakers work but sound is very faint?

[Velocity99]

Hi guys, very new to Suse (installed a few hours ago) - Everything seems great except...

I've made sure all of my volume settings are maxed, but the speakers seem only to be able to do, like 1/8th of the decibels they used to under Ubuntu.

If anyone can help, it would be most appreciated !

Have you tried running alsamixer (in the CLI) and tinkering with the volume levels. Another option would be to disable or remove pulseaudio if its installed and revert to alsa.

try this:
open the Yast control center found in applications>system>Administrator Settings.
then go hardware>sound.
in the sound module go other (button above 'finish')>volume and play with that. good luck and welcome..

Many thanks Guys...

daark.child - Had a quick look at the Alsamixer - and everything was already at 100.

I'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to disabling / removing packages, so I was trying to learn a bit more about that first, so as to avert posting all those annoying Newbie questions....

mehorter - This did the trick - Awesome !! - I figured it couldn't be a hardware issue as I was still getting legible sounds - and it is a Toshiba.... Didn't realise it would be that easy to fix.

Thankyou both very much for your help !!
