no sound with new pc intel 6 series / C200 chipset |
|
Dear Puppy Community,
thank you for all the great work with this OS and the forum.
I have a new desktop pc. and hope puppy is working with it.
I have the newest Puppy 528 on a cd and now boot from a usb stick.
The only real issue is the sound device.
I can not find a solution here in the forum, after searching.
Alsamixer is started and closes instantly.
Alsa sound mixer can not find hardware.
In the menu bar is not visible the speaker symbol.
Attached a screenshot of my system diagnostic.
I hope for a solution, thanks a lot.

looks like you need the module snd_hda_intel - the hda stands for high def audio
have you tried running the sound wizard-
puppymenu > setup > alsa sound wizard

Hmmmm, I've got the same problem -- didn't notice it at first because I hadn't run any sound apps on this new computer. (Acer Aspire 5349-2635)
So, Hardinfo shows this Intel 6 series /C200 v5 chipset, and I first tried the alsa wizard. No go.
Then manually tried modprobe snd_hda_intel. Also no go.
Then I tried adding that module to the boot list, and rebooting. Still no.
So that module (if it's correct) is probably not new enough on my system (Lupu 528 v5).
Any other suggestions? Besides changing distros, that is....
Can the module be updated? (just did that for the wireless module ath9k, and it worked for that)
btw, The chipset (card) is definitely not recognized -- alsa says no sound card detected and gnome alsa mixer is blank -- no controls. Regular alsa mixer closes immediately when selected.

Tried Racy 5.3 and sound now works.
I'd still like to get it working on Lupu, but failing that, I guess Racy is the OS of choice for this laptop.

Thanks bignono1, but I already tried that. No pci or pnp cards reported, and this definitely isn't a legacy card/computer.

No sound on Acer Subject description: Still no sound 5.8 |
|
On 5.8. which I like, I do not have sound on an Acer 7750G becaue 'no supported pnp or pci'. After running the Wizard.
I am reading the forums and have not seen a real solution. I think new computers are no supported in terms of sound?
Any further ideas?

I assume you mean Puppy 5.28 lucid not 5.8?
Looks like a common problem with 5.28 and Acer laptops.
Have you got any more info about the specific audio hardware?
go to Puppy Menu > System > HardInfo
then look at Summary > Multimedia
anything reported?
---
Alternatively you tried Puppy 5.3 slacko?
They are a few pets to make Slacko more similar to Lucid here-

Sound not working specs Racy |
|
Thank you for the reply. And yes 5.2.8.
This is my is system information:
Audio device : Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
-Multimedia-
Audio Adapter : HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
1) I did hear someone got it working on an Acer, but they do not recall how.
2) I did try Slacko and Racy and the problem is when booting it stops at
#
No matter what I do it just stops at
#
I tried to login and it accepted my password but then
#
I tried xwin, ran through it and back to
#
I think one time in the past I did get it to go to the GUI, but I do not recall and think the sound did work.
I have been a Puppy user for a while, but had to replace my old computer and the problem is on the new one it has this sound or boot problem.
I love using puppy and even wrote a post about it singing praise ->
My Puppy Linux post
But I am a user and do not know all the ins and outs, I am sure I am missing something basic. If soemone could help me get some sound it would be appreciated.

Quote: | Version 004 updates: ... Gnome-alsamixer is included - this is the mixer for those with multiple sound cards - each is displayed in a tab. Remaster Pup has improvements by rerwin. ALSA Sound Wizard has many improvements and can be used to select the default sound card. alsa-info.sh to get alsa info (run in terminal). ... |
