Hi Juanito, Rich,

now I ve prepared another usbstick by adding an almost naked frugal installation.

I first added /opt/alsa/ directory as this had been complained before
then I installed alsa.tcz and alsa-config.tcz.

I started speaker-test and gambled around with alsamixer, no sound.

I installed firefox-esr.tcz and went on youtube. movies but no sound.

Same on acer tmp453 as on lenovo b40-30.

Thanks for your attention

Juanito:
If you're sure that there is no previous installation of tinycore on the hd of any of the machines you're trying to boot from usb, then the problem must be somewhere else.

Note that if you use alsa-config, it should be loaded before alsa.

what do the following give:

"aplay --version"
"aplay -L"

hello Juanito, Rich.,

now for my acer TMP453 laptop I have bought a brand-new Lexar USBstick and set up a flwm tinycore7.1 installation frugal, whole disk, formatted to ext4 and added nothing but all of the 6 wlan and kmap accessories from CorePlus -CD.

Using AppBrowser I first added  alsa-config.tcz and to be sure did a reboot.
Then I added alsa.tcz.

tried to speaker-test turning up volume with alsamixer, no sound.

I followed your suggestions:

tc@box:~$ aplay --version

I found a (never used) hdmi plug and installed Xorg-7.7.tcz, did not help either
I added mplayer-g45-alsa.tcz, did not help
I added flit.tcz and started it, could use the volume control, speaker-test silent.
I added firefox-esr and tried youtube, silent.

Cross checked with my tc 6.4.1 usbstick: working fine.

Thanks for your help!

Juanito:
I only have two machines to test - a dell e7240 and a mac mini.

The alsa extension (without alsa-config) works on both of them. All I need to do is load alsa and un-mute the master volume control with alsamixer (I do not need to start alsasound) - the only proviso is that Xorg-7.7 needs to be loaded before alsa for sound to work as hdmi is the default for both machines.

Note that "aplay -l" gives this for me with the dell:
--- Code: ---$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC3226 Analog [ALC3226 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

--- End code ---
..i.e. that hdmi is card 0 and analogue is card 1 (which makes no logical sense at all for a laptop).

Your output seems to be suggesting that both hdmi and analogue are on the default pch?

Do you have alsasound state from tc-6.4.1 saved in your backup?

curaga:
You might also compare the kernel outputs between the two versions. "dmesg | grep hda". It's not uncommon for the HDA sound driver to regress, it covers a huge amount of hardware. There might be a bootcode you can use for the 7.x hda driver to work with your machines.
