No headphone volume in alsamixer, retrovol
No headphone volume in alsamixer, retrovol
Hi,
I have an Asus A42n with a single combo jack running Lucid Puppy 5.25
I can't seem to get sound from my audio jack.
There is no volume slider for headphone in retrovol and alsamixer. The laptop speaker works fine. The problem is when i plug in my headphone i can't hear any sound thru my headphone and the laptop speaker is muted.
There is sound output thru the jack on ubuntu and windows though.
Below is the output of cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#@ |grep Codec
Codec: Realtek ALC259
Output for lscpi | grep Audio
00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies SBx00 Azaliea (Intel_HDA) (rev 40)
01:05.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 Audio Device [Radeon HD4200]
Appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thank you.

Right click on the speaker in the task bar.
Choose full window.
Make sure headphone Jack sense is checked.
Not sure, but may also need to select Phone and adjust volume.

Hi Bigpup,

Right click on speaker in task bar.
Choose config window.
Select hardware tab.
Make sure it looks like this.
Everything in right list.
If stuff is in left list, move it over with the arrow keys.
Select apply.
Close window.
Right click on speaker.
Select full window.
Now you should see all the settings.

If you have a normal Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 you should have this.
That is what I am using.
You can get a download of Retrovol from here:

Seems like you do not have everything in Retrovol.
The way the config window works:
Under hardware tab
If everything is in right list- it will be an option in the Retrovol Full Window.
If anything is in left list- only those items will show in Retrovol Full Window.

Tried all the drivers to no avail on alsa config , none outputs to the headphone so still no volume slider on alsamixer, no headphone sense choice.
Solutions still eludes me ..

The lspci output makes it look like perhaps you have two audio chips. Maybe the default one Puppy is using isn't the one in charge of that output. You can adjust the levels on a second card by changing the settings in Retrovol under the "Hardware" tab, in the "Sound Card" line from hw:0 to hw:1. Or you can use alsamixer with the -c 1 switch:
(Remember, the first soundcard is 0, the second is 1, etc.)
That would let you change the settings, but it wouldn't cause any programs to actually send their sound data to the second card. To do that, you need to change the default soundcard for the system. If you edit /etc/asound.conf and add the following at the top, I think it will accomplish that:
Perhaps there is a GUI way to do that in Puppy's setup wizards, I do not know.
If that file already has anything in it before you edit it, back it up just in case. Also, any audio programs will probably need to be restarted after you make that change before the change kicks in for them. Note that it will not affect alsamixer and retrovol - you still have to do what I said earlier to have them let you control the other card.
I'm not sure whether this is the problem or not though.
Code: Select all
alsamixer -c 1

Hi
Hi, I have similar problem. I use ASUS K42F. No speaker volume on Puppy 5.2 and Puppy 5.2.5.
danabnormal, not the speaker but headphone i think.
my laptop is asus a42f. dual core.
in wary and spup i got the headphone slider on alsamixer, but don't in lucid.
i don't know what happen with that.. maybe some library or what?
can anyone tell us?
actually i use both of wary and lucid now.
but i prefer use lucid because many support from ubuntu i get there, example my camera was detected very well with gucview, but don't in wary.
the appeareance of openbox n fbpanel also cool.
