Hello, I'm being frustrated by a lack of sound.
I'm using Precise Puppy 5.6.1 with a frugal installation. Sound works perfectly using one savefile, but there is no sound with another. I assume that there is a difference between the configurations of each "installation".
I have worked through the four point plan in the Sound Wizard to no avail. A new installation works fine "out of the box", so I have done something to one of my installations.
Is someone able to give a summary of where sound configurations are stored? Once I have an idea of how it all works, I should be able to compare the configuration of one installation with the other. (I'm hoping that there are a number of config files, and that when I compare them there will be a difference)
After searching around in this forum for a while, I have learned that this file is important: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf.
I think that these are identical between my installations, and they look like this:
alias char-major-14-* soundcore
alias char-major-116-* snd
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options sb io=0x220 irq=7 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
I say "I think" they are identical because I am new to savefiles, and I am still getting to grips with how they work. So when I load up savefile A, I look in /etc/modprobe.d/ and find the alsa.conf file. When I load up savefile B, I look in the same place and find a file with the same name and the same contents. They are different files though, aren't they? They certainly have a different date stamp.
<edit: changed "sfs" to "savefile" - because these are different things!>
Sound works in one savefile, not in another

bump.
Can anyone help me with my problem (as described in the first post) please?
I can obviously start from scratch, but that means re-downloading, installing and configuring quite a few applications.
