same problems different computers

[klaas vaak]

I new installed suse 10.0 on two different computers and have the same problems. Sound is not working. Printing is a problem.
Sound: After installing Suse 10 and the additional sources as required for sound I still can produce no sound, the sound cards can't be installed in Yast or with Alsa, and in the configuration sound testing option, the program continues searching.
When I try a Knpppix live CD the sound is loud and clear(goodbye and farewell message.
The HP 5150 printer print fine but only parts of a page, for example the this page is printed OK but a simple Kmail email message, only blank pages and when I move the same printer to the other computer just the same problem

Re: Sound, it appears you have both integrated audio and a sound card. If so, have you tried switching ports? On my own system here I had dual audio and when booting up it was a flip of the coin as to which one would work, even though setting the default audio to just one of them via yast. I eventually removed the pci sound card and that put an end to that issue!

Re: Printer, have you tried a different driver? I've run into similar issues and via CUPS reverted to an earlier driver and had success but I have not used your HP model so only speculating.

The strange thing is, printing worked fine, but after a 'difficult' print job the printer refused to print. Sound has worked fine with Amarok but the next day it was gone.

now as I try to start Amarok I got this: Amarok is building up a connection with a mp3 streamer, it even says playing, but no sound is heard , two of the 3 engines I installed disappeared

I removed Amarok and reinstalled with smart amarok 1.4. But when I start Amarok a message appears that there are no sound card drivers, which I try to install with alsaconf, it appears that it goes well, but no output of any sound, how can I test the different parts for completeness and working?

I know this sounds odd and seems to be my univeral fixit speal, but try adding a new user then end the session of the old user and login as the new. Try sound now. Let us know if it works.

No, it did not work, no sound drivers possible
