Could not find any audio device (SOLVED)

#1 Post by marcos90 »

Lucid Puppy latest version .
I got this http://br.msi.com/product/mb/C847IS-P33 ... div=Detail of motherboard .
The hardware audio device is an onboard Realtek® ALC887

It is pretty new , but unfortunatly , no linux drivers or support are offered. Is there some generic audio driver for cases like this ? I've tried that Audio Wizard Analyze setup , but no luck , it says "No supported pnp or Pci card not found " . Probe Legacy ISA won't worked either .

Hi....

Well, a shot in the dark here, I'm not sure if it will work but if you're running Lucid 5.2.8, I found this thread here. Download and install the .pet offered by Semme (second post.) The "004 update" he mentioned *I THINK* can be found here (first post.)

Again, I'm not sure if this will work, so if you want to try this, it might be a good idea to back up all the files you wish to save. :wink:

Try typing 'retrovol' in terminal and tick the settings.

If that doesn't work then try installing an old copy of Audacity 1.3.9
(I hope it works in Lucid Puppy??)

because it automatically searchs for a driver and sets it up.
Use Audacity to open a wav file from the Reference folder
and hear how it plays.

I've typed , but it look liked was aborted :
"sh-4.1# retrovol

I've installed correctly Audacity 1.3.12 , but no luck with the audio drivers , when I open Audiocity , it gives a follow message :

Error Initializing Audio
Could not find any audio devices .
Error: Unanticipated host error

Have you checked to see if the audio device on the motherboard has been disabled in the BIOS settings?

Hi...

Another option, if possible, is to try other versions of Puppy to see if any one of them can successfully detect (and use) your chipset.

Yes , I did checked into Bios setup , and it was enabled . Usually , I use this motherboard with Windows 7 with no problems with audio .

I've tested with puppy lucid 5.25 and it was the same results . I guess I will gona have to change to Ubuntu or other distro , but need to test to see if gonna work . Too bad this happened , because I love Puppy Lucid . It's very simple and very reliable OS .

You could also try Precise 5.6.1 or 5.7.1 or perhaps Slacko. :)

I1ve tested now with latest Lubuntu 13.04 , and the sound device was recognized normal , and the sound is perfect :) . The problem is this OS is too big ( 700MB) , and I don't know if can be instaled on Usb pen drive . I'will gonna try later Precise . Thanks for the replies .

Thanks . It worked with Precise 5.7.1 . But I got another question . Precise 5.7.1 won't find my old lupusave-pupsaved.3fs at boot process , Aren't they compatible ? Or I'll gonna have to install all the apps and others drivers again ? PuppyLucid and Precise looks like the same to me .

Is there a .pet for this that would work in other versions?

SFS files are treated like any archive or ISO. So they will mount
and you can drag any important data to your hard disk. IT SHOULD
open automatically once you click on the SFS

:D Hello,
Change "lupu" to "precise" in the savefile name.
Or make a save with precise and rename your old save
to whatever it is named.
Dont try to "convert" it thats something different.
A save is a modified .sfs labeled .2fs or .3fs or 4fs
relating to ext2/3/4 while the .sfs converter converts bwtween
squashfs versions 3 and 4.
