Thanks! No I didn't. No one in #suse suggested it.
I don't know what the overall structure of the sound
system is. I just switched back to alsa when I
installed KDE3, and it works fine. One less pain
in my backend. 8^)
KDE4 enforces the use of the phonon audio system,
which won't
work with the audio chip of my merely 4 year old Asus
motherboard, and many others as well. These two things alone
are sufficient to persuade many Linux experts not to recommend
Linux with KDE4 to people, at least not enthusiastically. Linux
must support the older machines found in less wealthy nations.
Did you try every
Phonon backend available ? Except for really bad luck
at least one of them should work.
