I've been reviving an old laptop, dell latitude cpi with 300 p2. I boot puppy from live cd. Haven't found a way to get the sound working. Alsa config doesn't seem to be up to the challenge. Hoping there might be a patch or something to get it to configure the sound. Warning: I'm ignorant to Linux. Technical words may hurt me.

Wow. You guys are clearly a good deal brighter than me. I used to think I was pretty bright because of how proficient I've become with Windows. I do not understand 9/10's of what was said there, but I'll keep looking at it. One of the replies had some pretty straightforward directions I think I can follow. thanks again. |

Hi I pm'd ttuuxxx about this, to see if his updated 214R might be better for you He has added drivers, but also made a .pet for the new alsa [sound controller] which you could try also 214xx - 2 series latest updates - better for older pc's http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=42553 alsa http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/2.14series/alsa/alsa-lib-1.0.20-i386.pet http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/2.14series/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.20-i386.pet good luck PS: bookmark this http://www.wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html Aitch

Okay, so I made a first step: I upgraded my bios from A03 to A12... A terrifying experience with warnings throughout the process. What if there's a power failure? OMG! I can't take the pressure! Success. No power failure. I did not accidently kick the power cord out. The thing practically did itself. Thank God Dell doesn't trust the user! Okay, in a bit, I will reboot puppy and see what happens. |

I tried the two links to puppylinuxasia, but I do not have access. Now what do I do? Puppy booted fine in the new bios, by the way. I haven't noticed much of a difference... maybe just a little faster boot time for both my systems, puppy and win2k. |

Somebody please tell me there's a tool, widget or utility that can help me fix this sound thing. Audio I believe is legacy with soundblaster drivers. 
Step-by-step instructions would help too... |

Best suggestion, if the version change/ alsa.pets don't help pm tempestuous - it's his speciality http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=217 Aitch

So I downloaded the files using the default pup-get, which installed, and now it says to reboot. So here I go. I'm not sure what to expect on the other side.

so I run alsaconfig again and like all the times before, it gets stuck trying to probe SB16 (SoundBlaster). Sits there and does nothing. |
