(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I could not get sound working on a new 2 core PC (October 2012) despite much searching of this forum so I bought one of these cheap USB sound cards from ebay and have had sound with no problems. This may not be the most elegant solution but it works with Puppy 412.

Hi Stuart
Thanks
found this interesting also from Patriot about the same card.

I am using 3.01 on it at the moment.

Hi Darren, That little gadget save my bacon with my PC.

I just tried Slacko 5.5 (kernel 3.2.33) as live CD and heard onboard sound for the first time.

Hi Stuart,

Having reviewed the info in this thread I finally got sound working correctly with 412 by adding this to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local file
etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start


This made alsa remember my settings for this card es1978 on my Compaq Armada E500.

By the way it is a Full HD install of '412.

Cool!

Hi Darren

Happened to be browsing the forum and remembered what you said about contacting patriot for the Alsa upgrade and came across a post by mikeb http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 207#383268 so I reckon he may be the guy to get the alsa update files from.

Cheers Stuart I might ask him.
