I have Puppy installed on my system but I cannot get the audio to work. in the process of trying to trouble shoot this I created a new problem. I set the tray volume control to a different device number (3) and now it won't show up at all.

I have an ASUS E35M1-M pro http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/product.aspx?P_ID=qSoDxhM5mAk1F607&templete=2 and I'm using Lucid Puppy 5.2.8. Any suggestions on how to get the audio running and get the volume control back?

Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay- assuming this isn't the 5.2.8 you speak of, let's shoot for a down'n dirty fix.

Install this pet and the 004 instant update I've pm'd. Reboot'n see what shakes..

Thanks for the help Semme but for a quick Sanity Check, I downloaded the latest Lucid Puppy from :
http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm

Quote:

Download latest version of 5.2.8 from ibiblio.org: Get lupu-528.005.iso or explore the folder.


Before I install your fix, are we are talking about the same edition?

Thanks
Jay

Correct. No update- just the pet..

If you run: alsaconf out of a shell does it list your card after building db or searching cards?

From menu->Help->LupuNews help
Quote:
Sound muted on boot. Right-click the speaker icon in the system tray and choose Full Window. Enable Master, PCM, Front and any others that seem likely and also turn up the volume in each. This should fix things a good percentage of the time. If not, then please try Menu -> Setup -> Alsa Sound Wizard.

If no sound, open Menu -> Multimedia Tools -> Alsamixer (alsamixer, not alsawizard). Press F6 and that will show you what sound devices have been detected and configured. If yours is not the top one then arrow down and click it, then make sure everything plausible is turned up. I have to do this with my “second” sound card (an M-Audio). Then to play through the M-Audio I use Audacious but one can also use Pmusic and any other audio player that allows you to choose which device to play through. I have to this also with my M-Audio and I use Audacious -> File -> Preferences -> Output Plugin Preferences to choose the card I want.

If none of this works, then try alsawizard. The thing about alsawizard is that after it runs there is only one device configured--if that is the device you want then good, otherwise .....

Looks like the patch got the audio working, but I still don't have a volume control on the taskbar, how do I fix that?

Thanks

Drat, it seems I spoke too soon. After I rebooted the audio stopped working.

If you change the device number in retrovol (volume control) you need to manually edit config file to get it back, for example-

open the /root/.retrovolrc file (this is hidden file, click the 'eye' icon on rox window to reveal)

modify the card line to hw:0, ie

Code:
# Which soundcard to use
card=hw:0
