alsaconf line723: 21662 aborted

#1 Post by Dud »

On installing p 5.5 over previous version sound worked - until reboot.

Alsa Wizard failed and continued to do so even after pfix=clean and pfix=purge. I tried pulling the soundcard and using mobo sound - no go, The only solution was to rename everything out of reach, do a fresh install then copy over the stuff I wanted to keep.

Throughout alsaconf failed with the message:
/usr/bin/alsaconf line 723: 21662 Aborted

Line 723 looks harmless to me but perhaps someone who knows sound cards will see something - what's going on?

Processor : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz
Memory : 1001MB (260MB used)

-Multimedia-
Audio Adapter : ALS4000 - Avance Logic ALS4000
Audio Adapter : MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART
Audio Adapter : VIA8233 - VIA 8235

It's the ALS4000 that now works.

Cheerio,

Did you start Alsa Wizard via Puppy Menu entry or the command alsaconf
?

What do the following two commands return:
aplay -l
lsmod | grep snd

But as sound output -is- now working (see above) this might not be very useful. I mostly posted in case the error report assisted in the more general problem.

Input is scruffy - not too bothered 'though.
