One other thing...is there a command line or a pet to add an equalizer :?: .... my speakers need enforcing low register :? I don't know about overall. However, individual applications like Gxine has an equalizer built-in. Others may have an equalizer or bass boost plugin like XMMS has: http://www ...

lapis

Gxine seemed to have a boost option too. I set it on 120 % or something don't remember. Didnt seem to help. Sounded as if it clip on high input volume. Maybe some incompatibility with my hardware I don't know but you could try in the console the following: madplay -a +10 "NameOfYourSong.mp3" That ...

Both of them Retrovol and Alsamixer says 100 volume and they still are lower output than what other OS distros have. You have 100 for both Master and PCM? If you still need greater volume for video playback then SMplayer has an audio boost feature. Similarly there are music players which can boost ...

Looks like Quirky uses Retrovol.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50744

but it probably still has Alsamixer which is what I prefer to use anyway.

Also I assume that there still is for CLI

Code: Select all

amixer

I am in Quirky 1.00 now. What do I write in cli?

Not sure on Quirky. Under Multimedia there should be a Mixer listed. Maybe Zmixer or sGmixer.

In the terminal you could try entering

Code: Select all

alsamixer

Have you tried setting both the master volume and PCM volume to maximum? Mine is plenty loud enough.

Has anyone ever compiled a quick-reference chart for each and every Puppy release to date, listing recommended minimum RAM requirements for the following: Live CD Frugal installation Full installation That would be very helpful. Yeah that would be good wouldn't it? However, from what I have seen it ...

lapis

Well, from my understanding you HAVE to have puppy loaded into your RAM so that you can install it onto your HD - so if it won't even run in your RAM you can't install it in the HD. No, the squash file can continue to be read off the CD. I think only the initial file system needs to be in ram and ...

lapis

You might be able to run off the CD with 128MB RAM. From Wikipedia: The PC needs to have at least 128 MB of RAM (with no more than 8 MB shared video) for all of Puppy to load into the ramdisk. Yeah that's old. I think it's been quite a while since Puppy tried to load all of itself into 128MB of ram ...

lapis

I think it should work with 128mb ram. Why do you say it doesn't? You could also try 2.14X which is updated but designed to run on older hardware. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42553 I don't know what you mean when you say netbook but maybe this is what you are after: http://www ...

There is also SnackAmp which I like using. It has many options including volume levelling. There is a TCL version which is about 1.4MB or you can use a native linux version. I prefer the look of the TCL version but you might need to add TCL to some Puppy versions. There is a pet for that too. http ...

the Maximum value of speed limiter will allow you to, in theory, set it to 2000. Many thanks to you, Muggins. That is brilliant. I can confirm that it is not just theory. I tested it up to the limit of my connection which is 1,500KB/s and it definitely works as it should. I am surprised that nobody ...

lapis

Hi Muggins, Thank you for updating Aria. It might be long in the tooth but I still find it more reliable than any of the other gui downloaders that I have tried. However, there is one real deficiency I run in to. Currently the speed limiter can only go to a maximum of 200 which in practice throttles ...

I'd be very happy with 0.8.6 if it was compiled with just a few more codecs supported (so we have working .rm, .rmvb, .m4a etc) Is this version compiled without m4a support? I am afraid I don't know enough about these things to tell but apparently there is some bug in VLC which prevents playback of ...

You can use smplayer/mplayer. You can specifically load a subtitle file or it will automatically load ones with the same name, change fonts/colour, raise/lower subtitles and speed up/down.

Is there a way I can get the exact health of the drive rather than just a passed? On winXP I use a program called hdd health that shows exaclty how much life the drive has left. I find it hard to believe that such a thing actually works. I had a drive recently die without any warning or indication ...

Sorry for the stupid question but I tried to mount the pup412.sfs from a newer puppy than mine to copy a file. The message popped up (Failed mounting/unmounting.) However, now when I try and unmount the Puppy412 iso it won't unmount and gives the same message as if the pup412.sfs is actually mounted ...

Okay, thanks ttuuxxx for explaining that.

When I run the mplayer from mplayer-1.0rc2-071007-1.pet it says dev-SVN-rUNKNOWN-4.2.2. That doesn't seem very helpful.

I have another mplayer which is SVN-r29409-snapshot-4.2.2-Patriot-r1

Which one is newer and is it correct that I should just look at the SVN number?

Thanks

lapis

I like the original Aria with Gui. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=6733 It maintains a record of all downloads, you can have different lists for different purposes, download with multiple threads, absolutely reliable resuming of downloads, scheduling and username and password for ...

How do you force an umounting of a newer SFS if it failed?
