The following procedure on KDE4 and GNOME should help you resolve the problem.

KDE4 Desktop

1. In the System tray, click on the “Speaker” icon and click “Mixer” button. To launch the KMix.

2. Click Settings from menu and select “Configure Channels”

3. Select Digital, Digital Input Source and Capture and click OK.

4. Now, place a tick for Capture and ensure Capture slider is fully up (or as much as you want)

5. Under Digital Input, select “Digital mic 1″

This should do!!!

To confirm if it is working try recording a small audio file as follows from a Terminal window.

opensuse11:~ > arecord -d 10 test.wav

This should record a small WAV file of 10 seconds. Play the WAV file with your favorite player and check if you can hear what you have recorded.

GNOME Desktop

1. In the System tray, right-click on the “Speaker” icon and select Preference.

2. Select “Capture: ALSA PCM on front” (not the Capture: ALSA Monitor… option) and Master. When you select this, you can see the volume is muted (slider is completely lowered). Raise it your required level. This should help.

Now try again as above to record a test WAV file.

opensuse11:~ > arecord -d 10 test.wav

This should help.

However, to resolve this problem install the latest version of Flash Player from the Yast repositories.

Switch user to “root” and install latest stable Flash Player:

SAIBABA:~ # yast2 –install flash-player

Once done, reboot your system. This should resolve the problem. Open your browser and play Online videos and you should now watch videos ……..with Sound!!!
