Hi all,

I'm running puppy 4 on an old Notebook (Pentium III 1GHz, 64RAM, sound card SiS 7018), and when I run the ALSA Sound Wizard, it says "No PnP or PCI card found" and asks me if I want to "probe legacy ISA Sound card", but warn me it's gonna make my system unstable so I haven't done that.

Can someone help?


Thanks already.

Same problem over here. See the topic "Puppy doesn't bark"

You can let alsa probe your system I hadn't made mine instable.

I've been reading an other topic on the subject that is advising to open alsamixer. But if I try to do so it says "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device".

Same here ! No one in this forum that can help us ?

jemdem,
Thank you for revealing the Puppy version you are using, and accurately revealing the exact device in question.
Thank you also for using the word "Thanks" in your request.
I can tell you that experienced forum members will often ignore questions lacking in detail and courtesy.

Puppy has trouble detecting your SiS7018 chipset, as explained by Dougal here -

The solution is to manually load the correct ALSA module (snd-trident) -

That's it ! I'm hearing all the sounds now.

Thanks a lot man. You made my day.

wouhouuuuu! it works !!

thanks you so much tempestuous!

but I didn't run alsaconf actually, I just did what was said on topic you showed me. Should I run alsaconf anyway?


Thank you !
