Sound and Retrovol is gone! (Solved)

#1 Post by Nevronilz »

Dear puppy guys,

1st things 1st:
Running Quirky April 7.0.1.4 from a USB-stick (currently) on a Samsung N150 laptop. New to Puppy and Linux.

Problem:
After sticking my Quirky Puppy into a Desktop Computer (no sound!) and back to N150 - No Sound!

In the tray the Retrovol/speaker symbol is X-ed out.
Left-click=nothing, Right-click=menu.
Menu/Full Window gives an empty Retrovol with File as only option.
Config/Hardware gives Sound card hw:0 and empty slider spaces.

The Alsa Wizard 1.0.28 tells me no soundcards found.

Desperately browsing the forums to no avail pushed my to post this topic, and tought me a few cmnds.

lsmod doesn't seem to list any audio-related modules.

Code: Select all

# /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
bash: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: Permission denied

OK,
Just solved it...
Found one of the Creators answers (BK) who said:

[code]cat /etc/asound.conf
defaults.pcm.card
defaults.pcm.device

And he said the end of the file needs to be an integer! Delete the file and reboot, basically! Let me find the source...:
[url]http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=612395#612395[/url]

I opened /etc in ROX (file manager) and found also /etc/asound.conf-old which read

[code]defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 0[code]

So, I erased asound.conf renamed the old to asound.conf, rebooted and the crossed over red speaker-icon turned BLUE!!
What a feeling :lol: 

First post & first victory!
I solved my first post on my own!

The [code] is at the beginning. The

To format "code" you have to click on the "code" button above once at the beginning
of your code and once at the end. Like so:

Code: Select all

echo blabla | grep -v bleble > blublu
(Before you ask, the above does not mean anything!)
