Hello
I'm just new with this Distro. I've an old laptop:
Pentium M 1,8mhz
1GB Ram
HDD 30GB
Ati Mobility 9700 128MB
The distro detects an intel 82801DB-ICH sound card, but the sound don't works, what can I do? Can Anybody help me?

Try the command alsamixer and see if you can't adjust it with the available toggle switch. Also there is a few good threads on the topic. Try porteus sound problem as keywords for a Google search.

Hi
ricfer.
Do you use 'volume=' cheatcode?
Please show
Try to update Porteus via Porteus Updater - located in Porteus Settings Centre.

Try to open /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg and edit your porteus.cfg
in line
APPEND initrd add this cheatcode
It's example
Code: Select all
LABEL KDE4
MENU LABEL Graphics mode (KDE4)
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz changes=/mnt/sda4/porteus timezone=Europe/Moscow utc volume=100% kmap=ru,us login=root
or try Always Fresh mode.

please save following configuration as /etc/asound.conf:
Code: Select all
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 4
defaults.ctl.card 0
that should do it.

Thank you, for you attention. I Started in "Always Fresh Mode" and didn't work. About the "etc/asound.conf" do I create a new file? As I told you, I don't have any file with that name in that location.
sorry, some questions should sound like pathetic to some people, but I'm a dummie in linux script.
Re: Sound Issue

Yes, boot in normal (clear) mode (without your changeas) and create asound.conf file with these lines
Code: Select all
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 4
defaults.ctl.card 0
in /etc/ directory. After, reboot Porteus and test the sound.
