[[HomePage]] > [[ComponentHowTo Components and HowTos]] > [[Soundsystem]] ====Further Audio Information==== Here's what I know about it from installing it several different ways on other distributions. Of the source packages at www.alsa-project.org, not all are necessary. From alsa-utils, the important components are alsamixer and alsactl. Nothing is crucial from alsa-tools. The alsa-oss library is only necessary to support audio applications which are not alsa-aware. Most applications these days are alsa-aware, and it would be a better policy not to include such applications in Puppy, anyway. Both Xine and Snack support ALSA, although they might need to be recompiled or reconfigured. At one stage I copied the ALSA files from a full Debian installation into a small distribution. The main driver files are at /lib/modules/2.4.xx/kernel/sound/ The alsa library is /usr/lib/libasound.so.xxx One crucial file is the initialization script - /etc/init.d/alsa, normally run at startup. It creates these devices - /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi. ==Also on the Wiki== ~[[AudioHardware Show Audio configuration]] ~[[ALSA]] - default sound system in many Puppies ~[[HardInfo]] - lists information about the hardware ==Related Webpages== ~[[http://nigelcoldwell.co.uk/audio/ nigelcoldwell audio ]] ~[[http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=580303#580303 sound wizard post]] ~[[http://linux-sound.org/one-page.html Sound for Linux]] ~[[http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=105470#105470 ALSA package]] for Puppy? ---- ==Categories== CategoryHardware CategoryMultimedia
