Installed Lupu 528 to a USB flash-Drive.
The flash-drive is formatted ext3, boot flag, total 16G.
grub4dos used to install the MBR.
OS files Lupu 525 copied in.
OS files Lupu 528 copied in.
menu.lst has added code to activate lupu525 and lupu528.
Both Puppy OS activate and run.
Lupu 525 has the audio system, and mplayer, etc.
Lupu 528 has NO audio system, and has mplayer installed.

Problem when running lupu 528:
Lupu 528 audio icon does not appear on the task bar.
Running ALSA is OK. Selected chip ICH5.
(Also running Lupu 525 from this flash-drive, with normal audio, via ICH5.)
Various audio players do not respond.
(Each player activates, but does not connect to any audio system. )
Error message about "mixer missing".

Is there a download to install the audio ?

" Don't want to confuse you....probably another card....
but here is what I did with a sound issue in the past.
It might give you a workaround.

" In Alsa Equaliser Mixer
I changed to >> default >> and it is now showing
>> Conexant Cx20590

Try my test mp3...as there is no bark.

= xine engine error
Input plugin failed to open mrl /mnt.

Alsa Equaliser control is off...>> I turn it on.
Alsa Mixer shows...But mp3 fails again.

Chipset says alsaequal

Hit F6 >> highlight says >> enter device name

I select >> Default

Card >> HDA Intel PCH

Chip now shows >> Conexant CX20590

Hit F5 >> give Master a few more hits upwards

Esc...Still errors. bugger bugger

But Xine plays off my usb...yeah.

Open up Pmusic to add the mp3 from SDA2.
It decides to play. "

My tip....go >>> DpupExprimo5X327
