Multiple Sound Card Wizard
muhser0, thanks
Geoffrey, this MSCW is intented to work like xorgwizard-automatic but for soundcards.
Besides the GUI, most of the code is to handle sudden changes
and possible issues with sound cards to ensure working sound on startup.
But that requires integration with delayedrun, mavrothal is testing that feature.
mavrothal, the logs show a correct behavior, but it lacked some code to
actually make it work... this might fix it.. please try again..
and don't forget to ignore the MSCW window and just play something.. sound should work.
Save session, reboot, MSCW should not pop up and sound must still be working...
After that, try the gui and report if it's if it's behaving as a user would expect...

0213 works as advertised.
Picks up the correct card and sound (including retrovol) works OOTB.
Keeps quiet on restart.
GUI works as expected also.
Logs attached.
I guess in its final form will not need to popup on first boot and can have the logging only in debug mode or when users calls it because the automatic mode failed or the user prefers another card.
When I user calls the GUI and a card is picked already as default the message at the top better say "Choose another default sound card" instead of just "Chose default sound card"

This is the new MSCW, a GUI and command line utility, all in one.

New version, I removed some files found in the original pet:
1) pinstall.sh (renames alsamixer to alsamixer.bin and alsamixer.script to alsamixer)
2) alsamixer.script
and this:
3) puninstall.sh

I finally got to see the new "defaults.ctl.card" line in action and how it eliminates that strange wrapper script around alsamixer.bin.jlst wrote:New version, I removed some files ...

Nicely done.
Hello jlst,
I noticed that when I turn my volume off before or during Quicksetup, your new mscw turns it back up to 75% again after the "welcometo1stboot" screen has finished. It seems to be this line in function start_proc of /usr/bin/Multiple-Sound-Card-Wizard:
Since the volume is already set at startup, is this line needed to be run again? Maybe something could be added that says "if the user already changed the volume levels, don't reset everything"? Little annoyance but I'd like to squash it.

Oh, I see, the PET has been removed, pending a rewrite. jlst posted in another thread:BarryK wrote:Guys,jlst wrote:I have updated this utility... check it out and provide some feedback..
Where is the PET to download?
The improvements look good. I am still using v2.2 in Quirky.

Jlst, the ideas look good, go for it!

I updated my version of MSCW, now it's fully compatible even
with Wary Puppy.
It comes with my custom /etc/init.d/10alsa.
Basically the most important thing it has is the Report
button which provides info that can be used to fix issues...

mscw & usb mic
Hello
Have just bought a cheapo webcam off ebay and it comes with a usb mic which I've not encountered before.
I'm posting here because mscw (which is provided by woof-ce: /rootfs-skeleton/usr/bin/Multiple-Sound-Card-Wizard https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ard-Wizard ) does not see the mic.....
alsamixer does see the mic
as does a webcam application on a website
but there's no controls showing in retrovol to allow the use of the usb mic or to set the levels.
Can anybody provide suggestions as to how to get this usb mic recognised and working - thanks
Various screen shots of mscw, alsamixer, webcam app, and retrovol attached.

Maybe:
webcam app microphone setting changed to the internal audio card instead of default.
Or any of the other settings.
Maybe in Retrovol.
Select and turn up rear mic.
Play with changes to Capture So.
Select and turn up Rear Mic Boost.
Does Pup-Sysinfo show the microphone under devices->

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
