If you have applications that use OSS sound (via alsa's OSS emulation in Puppy) they usually hog the soundcard, so no other programs can access it.
This fixes that - just start the programs with aoss e.g. start gtick like this:
Code: Select all
aoss gtick

I don't know whether it will work in more recent puppies
