Hi, I was able to get the sound working from the microphone and headset jacks on my HP dv2000 laptop this evening. I should mention right from the start that having reread my previous post it would lead one to think that I had no sound output at all with alsa with Opensuse 10.2. That wasn't the case, the speakers worked right after the install of 10.2. My post referenced a problem that I had seeking to get the microphone and headset jacks to work so that I could use skype. I continued to research the problem on google, and was able to get both the microphone and headset jack sound working properly. Here is the fix: I downloaded the latest alsa package from here: ftp://ftp. 1) I extracted the file from the tarball to desktop 2) I opened a terminal and 'cd' to the desktop location of the extracted file 3) In terminal: ./configure --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=hda-intel make su password make install 4) Restart system 5) In Skype I selected one of the four or five configurations for the microphone one by one until I found one that would work without distortion. The laptop speakers mute automatically when I plug in the headset in the headset jack. Anyways, success! I hope that this will help someone else who has the same problem.

I have a Conexant HD Audio soundcard on my laptop, and I have done reading about this problem on the internet from posts made by others who have gotten this working. I mainly have referenced this post about halfway down the page: http://www.sundru.net/bblog-stuff/?sectionid=2 To begin with, I had no sound at all on my headset jack and couldn't use the microphone jack to input sound to the sound card. After I installed the alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4, I was able to hear sound through the headset but the laptop speakers don't mute when the headset is plugged into the jack. The microphone on the headset can be used to input sound through the microphone jack. The sound that is put in through the microphone sounds like a Dalek from Dr. Who when it is played back on a Skype test call. It is very distorted. I then installed the alsa-driver-1.0.15rc1 as it came out shortly after I installed the 1.0.14rc4 driver. Now the speakers mute when the headset is plugged in, but the microphone sound isn't any better. I will need some help to go on from here in order to get the sound working properly through the microphone and headset jacks. I have checked in my package manager and all the alsa sound programs installed are version 1.0.14. Thanks in advance for your help.
