This is my first Post in this Forum.

I am quite new to Linux-OS and installed Puppy-Wary yesterday evening. In short: I am totally unexperienced, so far
![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
At the Moment I am running Puppy-Wary 5.3.3 on an old FSC Futuro S400 ThinClient (frugal install from am 256MB CF-Card, pupsafe about 80MB).
So far Wary Puppy works quite fine ( a little bit faster than Lucid Puppy) but my sound hardware is not recognized by ALSA.
The System detected the onboard AC97 Audio device, but I wasn't able to play any sound (Yes, I did check about Mute an Volume in the Alsamixer). So I ran the ALSA-Wizard from the Sound-Wizard Menu. Probably something went wrong, from now on ALSA couldn't detect any Sound Hardware (not the onboard sound, neither a simple ÚSB-SC-Dongle). I did many reboots, but the ALSA returns: Unable to find any Soundcard, please press Cancel. The small Loudspeaker in the lower-right-corner also disappeared.
Short Hardware Specs
-----------------------------------
CPU - AMD Geode 1GHz
RAM - 1GB, 128MB reserved for the GPU
Graphics - onboard Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
HDD - 256MB CF-Card, 80MB Pupsafe-file
Sound-1 - Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] C-Media AC'97 Sound Controller
Sound-2 - C-Media USB-Audio-Device
Sound-3 - Edirol UA-1EX USB-Audio (later on I want to use this one for Audio-Playback)
OS - Puppy Linux Wary 5.3.3
For further information: I have atteched the full "Hardinfo System Report" and the "sys-info-report" as .txt-Files, I hope this helps (Puppy-Setup, Geany and Seamonky were running in the background whileperforming the test)
And one Last question: The System is running reasonable fast, but some times the response-time is a little bit slow like in the PentiumI/Win95 -times. Especially when browsing the Web using Seamonky. Actually I suspect the CPU beeing the 'bottleneck' of the System, Context Menus and that sort of stuff respond very quick. Do you have any suggestions to tweak Puppy-Linux to improve the overall system performance?
Thank you very much in advance!
