Sound changes going from 107 to 108r1

Granted, As newbie to linux and puppy, This problem is probably due to my own ignorance, but in an effort to understand what is going on, and therefore, understand puppy linux a little better, I am wondering if anyone can help with a small problem that I have found. I am now happily using puppy 107 on my IBM thinkpad R40 laptop, with a pup001 file located on my NTFS drive. Sound, everything, works great. Puppy is very fast, and very happy with it. ( I am writing from that now). Just to try out the new revision 108 and later 108r1, I found that the sound worked with 108, but the help didn't. Later, when I tried 108r1, the help was there, but now the sound doesn't work.

Like I said, I like the way the existing puppy 107 is working, but would just like to understand what has changed, and what may be an issue when I want to use future updated versions.

I think Barry switched to ALSA in 1.0.8r1 for the sound. In Puppy2 alpha there is an ALSA configuration wizard if you click on the "Setup" icon on the desktop. I don't remember if 1.0.8r1 had such a wizard. If not, try running alsaconfig from the command line.
