0 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfeb44000 irq 40
1 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB

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).

If i would like to make this fix as a module how would i go about this?

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!

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