Hello, I'm running Puppy 3.01. My notebook has an on-board soundchip, but I prefer my external USB-soundcard. After the frugal installation of puppy the on-board soubdchip was configured by default. So I used ALSAconfig to set up my external USB-soundcard. Having done this successfully I checked the etc/modprobe.conf . The final and relevant lines are as follows. # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 --- alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio alias sound-slot-0 snd-usb-audio # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- Having saved the settings in the pup_save-301.2fx I did a reboot: But Puppy does not configure my USB-soundcard but the on-board soundchip. Astonished by this I checked the etc/modeprobe.conf again. Here are the final and relevant lines: # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 --- alias sound-slot-0 snd-usb-audio # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't Puppy configure my USB-soundcard when booting? What can I do to use my USB-soundcard by default? |

This is what I found out so far: Both drivers (onboard-soundchip and usb-soundcard) are loaded correctly. By default the onboard-soundchip is set as soundcard "0" and the usb-soundcard is set as soundcard "1". (I discovered this by typing "alsamixer" and "alsamixer -c 1"). By using ALSACONF I am able to set the usb-soundcard as default but only for the session that is running. After the next boot the onboard-soundchip is back as default. So in each session I have to run ALSACONF to use my usb-soundcard. Is there any way to modify ALSA's config files so that my usb-soundcard will be set as default automatically? (BTW there is no way to disable the onboard-soundchip via BIOS.) |

I have the same problem as Broadway. I setup ALSA sound every time I boot up, but after I restart the sound doesn't work. The driver it uses is es18xx. I'm not using the soundcard that is intergrated in the motherboard, but a separate sound card. Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem, thanks! If any extra info is needed, please let me know. Puppy 2.17 800mhz Can't remember how much RAM I've got Puppy working on a 5gb partition off live CD |
