Hi,
I'm pretty new to linux/puppy.
I've installed puppy 1.0.8 on HD, but I don't seem to get any sound.
When I try to run the ALSA sound wizard it just blinks after I hit enter, so I tried running it from a terminal (alsaconf) and it gave the following errors:
Building card database..
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 451: /var/tmp/alsaconf.cards: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 448: /var/tmp/alsaconf.cards: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 448: /var/tmp/alsaconf.cards: No such file or directory
No card database is found..
I have puppy on one HD (I boot with puppy floppy) and winXP on another.
The sound is not on-board, it's a PCI card. From WinXP:
Sounds and audio devices:
Audio:
Creative Sound Blaster PCI
Hardware:
Creative AudioPC (ES1371,ES1373)(WDM)
No idea what this all means, but maybe it helps..
BTW:
PIII 500Mhz / 192MB ram /hda=winXP=20Gig / hdb=puppy=9Gig
Any help is off course much appreciated
No sound:/var/tmp/alsaconf.cards: No such file or directory

Go to and run your live CD and copy from there, alsaconf.cards to harddrive, /root/my-documents. Then make a new "tmp" folder in /var, place a copy of alsaconf.cards in there from my-documents. Exit to prompt and try alsaconf again. This file seems to be removed on a harddrive installs because of being a temp folder. Good Luck, Kal
