Could you make it available so we can test it too?

...hope it will solve hda-intel no sound problem with Puppy 2.15CE on my ebox 4853 (from the manual the "silent" chip is a AC97v2.2 Via Vynil VT1708)...

I've been reading this forum for awhile and really haven't seen any solutions to no sound with the hda-intel driver set. I got it working in ubuntu after rummaging around the forums there. Seems the module requires some options that had to be added. I have a Toshiba A135-S4427 and the motherboard audio has internal speakers, headphone and mic connector, and that is all. Puppy 2.14 worked (and still does) fine with this same computer! Something between 2.14 & 2.17
has just turned off the I/O to the card.
I also have a audigy2zs pcmcia soundcard. ALSA has a known bug so no
hope of using it with any Linux version.

Hope someone has some fresh ideas.

Did this make it into 3.01 or Dingo? I've never got decent sound from Puppy, but the same hardware sounds just fantastic with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - sorry Barry!

Is there any hope under Puppy?

great information!! thanks

Why not add the same module configuration options in Puppy?
See my post "ALSA configuration for Intel HD Audio"
