Post#1 by ztealmax » 01 Nov 2013, 13:23

Code: Select all

 
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfeb44000 irq 40
1 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xfeb40000 irq 16

cat /proc/asound/modules
 0 snd_hda_intel
 1 snd_hda_intel

is the output
system -> porteus settings centre -> system screen -> sound settings
i cant get sound to work i have 2 options of different soundcards there, not any of them seems to work

You've got one sound card that shows as two devices and both use the same driver, which doesn't really work with the soundcard selector. Following this thread: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=1399

Please try the following:

Create a new file at /etc/asound.conf and enter this as the text:

Code: Select all

    pcm.!default {
       type hw
       card SB
    }

    ctl.!default {
       type hw           
       card SB
    }
and then run etc/rc.d/rc.alsa restart

let me know how it goes. It may require a restart with that new file in place (you will have to put it in your rootcopy if you are not running with saved changes).
Please take a look at our online documentation, here. Suggestions are welcome!

@fanthom

In your link to the porteus site I read:
Do you have any plans for switching the 32-bit edition to KDE-4.x?

We don't want to get a lot of reports that KDE-4 is working slowly on users' PCs. The 64-bit edition of Porteus has KDE-4 included by default as 64-bit CPU'a are fast enough to handle it. Search the repo's and forum for more information about getting KDE-4 to work with 32bit edition (but keep in mind, running KDE-4 in 32-bit Porteus is not officially supported).
:lol:

Regards!
Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).
The Porteus Community never sleeps!

Oops! That one is an oversight on my part while updating the FAQ for 2.1. I'll get it fixed :)
