Hi,
To go back to your original post, I don't know if this may be related, if you were using 3.01

I would still check mixer settings, though

I think you misunderstand how audio in Linux works. Puppy already contains drivers for all supported sound cards. Since Puppy version 1.0.8 these are the ALSA drivers. Prior to version 1.0.8 Puppy had the old OSS drivers.toomuchcomputertime wrote:Does anyone know where I can download sound modules?
The question is which driver to use, and what configuration options that driver may require.
It appears that your AD1812-based sound card is soundblaster compatible. So I would speculate that it should work with the snd-sb8 module.
Yes, that's a good start. Without this setting, ISA-based devices can be problematic in Linux. Actually, if you have disabled the PnP option in bios, it's not necessary to do the same thing with a kernel parameter.toomuchcomputertime wrote:I disabled the plug and play in both the bios and the kernel
Try the automatic configuration first. Run the ALSA Sound Wizard, and select "sb16".
If no success, you must now try some manual configuration. Open /etc/modprobe.conf in geany and you will see these lines at the bottom -
Code: Select all
alias snd-card-0 snd-sb8
alias sound-slot-0 snd-sb8
options snd-sb8 irq=? dma8=? port=?
Reboot after each change.
Better still, throw that sound card in the bin and replace it with a more mainstream sound card, preferably PCI instead of ISA.
