No sound.  Used to work in opensuse 11.1. When I restart /etc/init.d/aslasound
I get:

"No sound" doesn't give any hints, unfortunately.  Could you elaborate what doesn't work exactly, i.e. what apps did you test on which desktop system with which sound subsystem?

In most cases with "rcalsasound restart" fix, the problem is that you are using the mixed-up system both for pulseaudio and non-pulseaudio.  And PA is started as default by some reason (e.g. startup sound), the rest non-PA apps can't access any more to the sound device.  So, check your sound setup at first.

When I ran 
 /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
It told me to install the new version of the script, now that file is empty!

file /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh: 
empty

Run with --no-upload option.

Also, please don't forget to reset NEEDINFO flag when you provided the requested information.  Otherwise I won't follow up as I assume the bug state wasn't changed.

Thanks.
