...
but then, I must run the speaker-test to unmute the speakers, else the speakers stays muted for all the time, note that when I boot the system, the mute led indicator on F6 key turns on, but after running the speaker test the led turns off.

The speaker-test command instructed alsa to play sound through device 1 and not the default device 0 (hdmi)
If you want to play sound using other apps that support alsa, you will need to use the apps audio setup menu to instruct it to use device 1 rather than the default.

Looks like pulse audio hasn’t been started
Is pulse audio loaded? If so then start it as per pulse audio info file
How did you install pavucontrol?
wget ?
APPS ?
tce-ab ?
tce-load ?
Is pavucontrol.tcz installed to onboot.lst ?
from the info file
check dbus is running
--- Code: ---$ /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus status
--- End code ---
check if pulseaudio is running
--- Code: ---pulseaudio -vv
--- End code ---
[to test]
Did you create this file to start pulseaudio?
--- Code: ---echo "start-pulseaudio-x11" > ~/.X.d/pulseaudio
--- End code ---
--- End quote ---
seems that dbus is not started on system boot, I must run /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
I've installed the extensions through APPS
pulseaudio.tcz is in onboot.lst
and, the three files are in ~/.x.d/ alsa, dbus and pulseaudio.
Juanito:
For testing purposes it is perhaps better to not have graphics-KERNEL, alsa-config, alsa or pulseaudio in onboot.lst and not to have anything in ~/.X.d.
Then, boot to a console prompt or exit X to the console prompt and:
--- Code: ---$ tce-load -i graphics-KERNEL
$ tce-load -i alsa-conf
$ tce-load -i alsa
$ tce-load -i pavucontrol adwaita-icon-theme
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
$ startx
--- End code ---
..and then double-click on the pavucontrol icon and it should auto-start pulseaudio and display the pulseaudio controls.
If this doesn't work, open a terminal window, run pavucontrol and report the errors you get.

Hi, yesterday I had some time to test this again, here are some hints:
graphics-4.14.10-tinycore.tcz is not needed to get the speaker test work
loading gcc_libs.tcz leads to the audio being muted (which is bad because gcc_libs has libatomic.so.1 required by firefox)
other tests are going on
at least the speaker test works by the moment

Well, after a looooong time testing, I got audio on firefox seeing a youtube video :D
Things I did:
1) create the asound.conf file
--- Code: ---sudo vi /etc/asound.conf
--- End code ---
2) write this and save
--- Code: ---pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
--- End code ---
3) add persistence
--- Code: ---echo "etc/asound.conf" >> /opt/.filetool.lst
filetool.sh -b
--- End code ---
(at this time I had to remove the norestore bootcode at /mtn/sda1/menu.lst)
4) start dbus at boot time
--- Code: ---sudo echo "/usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start" >> /opt/bootlocal.sh
--- End code ---
5) my onboot.lst looks like this
--- Code: ---pci-utils.tcz
alsa-config.tcz
alsa-plugins.tcz
alsamixergui.tcz
pulseaudio.tcz
--- End code ---
Now, the only problem to solve is that the laptop starts muted, I have to use alsamixergui to unmute all of the channels to get the audio working.
