m1330 No Sound. Fixes?

[kcin1204]

I just installed Puppy 4 (newest version, using unetbootin) and everything is working perfectly (vpnc, wifi, video, etc.) except sound. Now i did the audio config and set it up with what it auto detected (same as in ubuntu) and it wont play any sounds. I tried going into the alsa mixer and turning up all of the volumes but to no avail.

Any tips? ideas? fixes?

Thanks in advance!

" Any tips? ideas? fixes? "

Yes there are.

Any tips on model of hardware....ram.....etc

Puppy version....you say the latest...so do we assume Puppy 4.1.1
retro or standard.

" 2.6.25.16, 2.6.21.7 kernels. The 'standard' Puppy has been built with the 2.6.25.16 kernel. The 'retro', which may work better on some older hardware, has been built with the 2.6.21.7 kernel and with a more conservative configuration. The older kernel is configured with the old IDE drivers (instead of PATA)*. "

what sound card did it detect?

did it bark at you during setup?

I just automatically assumed everyone knew what an m1330 was.... my mistake. The machine that i am referring to is the Dell XPS M1330 laptop.
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz
The sound hardware is:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
Ram: 2GB
The kernel version is: 2.6.21.7

It detected the HDA driver correctly but for whatever reason it still wont function....

Thanks guys!

Try this - open /etc/modprobe.conf in geany, and add this line

Code: Select all

options snd-hda-intel model=5stack

Save. Reboot.
