No sound on Vortex 3300DX

#1 Post by elecdrum »

This system uses a usb based Cmedia CM119 sound chip. The Alsa wizard does not find any sound cards and there is no loudspeaker icon on the desktop. A quick check of the system using hardinfo shows a C-media usb audio device. Any thoughts as to why it is not giving sound. Trying to run Alsamixer just gives me a 'cannot open mixer : no such device' error.

What version of Puppy?
How is Puppy installed?
Same results running from a Puppy Live CD?

Typing setvol results in the error 'Either /dev/mixer isn't there or I can't access it. If the latter is the case, chmod 666 /dev/mixer' So no mixer installed I assume. Anyone else got any ideas ?
I notice that the manufacturers use oss not alsa in their setup, is it possible for me to change Puppy over to oss?
