Well, that's one variable eliminated.

I will inform the Puppy person who sent me here of that news.

Thanks!

Thank you for this post, a lot of information there.

My kernel in the Puppy 4.24 is 2.6.30.5. Can I use one of these libraries to get my sound working? Sound works with Puppy 4.12, I guess the ALSA is different. Or an older version of ALSA? Is it possible to just revert to older ALSA with this kernel?

I'm using an old Micron laptop, a Trek ii. WIth some ESS card that is not covered by ALSA 1.0.20.

Thanks for any comments.

Hello,
I don't know either, both versions of alsa suggested a 1968 chip, but only the 1.0.16 made it work. Guess I'll stick with p412.
Thanks

Thanks Patriot.
I put in Puppy4.30, and it found it right away, and doesn't forget it either!

I've updated my alsa to 1.0.20 and now my alsa mixer is gone.

@swiatmar - I renamed the alsamixer to alsamixer.bin and included the script that runs alsamixer in a terminal. That was probably the issue with the other version, since by default the newly compiled package will overwrite the script and leave the previous alsamixer.bin in place. This should have originally been done by leaving alsamixer with its original name and naming the script alsamixer.sh such that future upgrades would not break things.... but we are probably in too deep now so I have stuck with the established naming so-as to not break other unknowns.
