The GNOME settings cannot control the sound volume, the audio has to be un-muted and the output and input volume be changed in the alsamixer when using this version of SLES 15 SP1.
The NVIDIA proprietary driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-430.50.run was installed during certification testing. Download the driver from NVIDIA at: https://www.nvidia.cn/Download/index.aspx?lang:en. To then install and configure this driver, do the following by opening a terminal window and run these commands: a) Make the script file executable, "chmod +x NVIDIA-$version.sh", b) Use zypper to install required dependencies, "zypper install -t pattern devel_kernel libglvnd-devel", c) Change the default runlevel, "systemctl set-default multi-user.target", d) Reboot the system, "reboot", e) Run the NVIDIA driver installer in console mode, "./NVIDIA-$version.run", and skip the 32-bit compatibility libraries during the installation, f) When the installation is completes, correct your default runlevel with, "systemctl set-default graphical.target".
