#Amd ati radeon hd 4200 drivers legacy how to
I have found that the way to correct that is to (and you have to be very quick about it to catch it will it is playing the event sound) change the device selection in the drop down box of the playback tab of pavucontrol for that (to see how to do that, refer to oldcpu's article). In that case, it appears that libcanberra (a gtk based lib for for playing event sounds) is not respecting the selection in the Phonon settings (Phonon is very much native KDE, i.e. For example (starting from fresh, consistently for me at least), I find that, although the proper hdmi device may be selected in the drop down boxes in the the Phonon setting's "Audio Hardware Setup" tab, trying the speaker test buttons results in audio piped over the analog output.
This is where watching the pavucontrol and kmixer windows helps figuring things out. You may find that some things don't output to hdmi but are routed to the analog output device instead. User oldcpu has provided an excellent write up of pavucontrol: Pulseaudio Basics for openSUSE with pavucontrol - Blogs - openSUSE Forums testĪt the same time, it is intuitive to see what is going on with audio playback by also opening up pavucontrol and the kmixer window. adjust the device preference settings (move the hdmi card up to the prefered device for each of the settings you want). in Kmenu > System Settings > Hardware > Multimedia > Phonon. Just a note (in case you are not aware): if you are going to use the proprietary AMD/ATI driver (fglrx) with your device (HD 4200), you have to use the legacy driver version, as AMD/ATI recently dropped support in the main driver branch for such hardware.

While I was working with KDE I noticed that the Kwin effects was kind of slow and my battery life was about 30 min only, so I decided to install the ATI privative drivers from the open SuSe repos.this didn't work, after that I had a buggy and slow system, so I downloaded the ATI drivers from the official page.Īfter install the drivers, the Kwin effects are better, the battery life now is 1:10 hrs, my movies are better played, all was perfect except the audio by HDMI, I read in a wiki of suse (i don't have the link) that if have to install the 'pavucontrol' app to manage the HDMI audio, once installed the only I need is to log out, log in and the HDMI audio should be running this was not like that. My name is Mauricio, I have just Installed openSuSe 12.1 a week ago, I was using ubuntu before, but I needed a most work prepared option, so I choose open SuSe.
