am a newbie.
so pardon the question if the answer is obvious.
no sound though the sound card is detected right as the hardware proble result reveals.
what do i do?
give us more detail.
If you don't know how, open a terminal & type lsmod
and give back the results.
we need your sound card info, so get back asap with details
Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!
been travelling since i posted tha mail.
sound card is cmi on board chip.
it is detected by the hardware probe correctly.
will do the procedure you suggested and get back on sunday when i go home.
thanks a lot for the tip.
yes, i was not hearing even the welcome bow bow during boot up.
yes, the speaker setting is all the way down though the volume setting is all the way up.
why this default setting?
when i tried to play a mp3 file it was hanging .
will get back on this later.
In the latest versions of Puppy, the intro. bark is commented out.
If you want to test or hear it, go to the /etc/profile file and open it, line 89 or so and look for;
#play.tcl /usr/share/audio/2barks.au &
Take out the # (hash mark), save the altered profile file and see if you hear the bark on the next reboot or start.>>
done. let me see if it works.
but since the default speaker setting is zero i am pessimistic.
i opened multimedia>snack sound mixer and set the speaker setting all the way up.
then i opened the mediaplayers one by one and tried playing the 2barks.au file.
no go.
gxine said plugin refused to start. probabaly not installed.
well???
thnx danleff , was scratching my head over a volume problem .
read your post , and ... viola
this forum seems very helpful , informative , and nice .
really like the distro too .
and now on to figure out a usb-wifi solution... wish me luck .[/b]
Good to see it worked for someone! I just got a Linksys USB wifi external card to work in 1.05. I am working out the auto settings and will post the results when I fix it on my wiki page.
