Sound problem with TC 13.1 and Toshiba NB250
« on: August 29, 2022, 03:36:17 PM »
Hello, I can not run alsa and pulseaudio sound in Toshiba NB250 using TC 13.1.  Sound card is detected, but there is no sound.  Using TC 4.1 in this computer alsa sound runs fine.  Anyone can help?

Thank you.  :-)

July 26, 2010 9:18 a.m.: The NB250, Toshiba's entry-level netbook, with a 10.1-inch display"

Sometime I ask myself: why some people are chasing more/better/faster etc ?
Why on earth do you need TC 13, or even TC 7+? on a computer 12 years old !?
on my Dell mini 10 (year 2008) abiword_2.8, gnumeric_1.10, vlc_2, firefox_51, p7ip will give you doc /xls/ pdf/ html /txt/ mp3/ etc.

If I want Windows world, I have all I need.  But newest Windows OS is a big mistake for I want to build.  I'm not searching questions, I only want to solve this sound provlem.  If can't solve, I will return to TC 4.1.  Thank you.

Does alsamixer show the sound is muted?

Yes by default.  I unmutted all and set volume values to 100.  No sound.  Chipset is ALC259.  In TC4 using alsamixergui, it shows a PCM gain control.  In TC13 textmode alsamixer does not show PCM gain control.  :-(

Have you tried to run alsamixer with sudo.
And tried to run aplay -L to list the devices and test with speaker-test.

Did you make a fresh install with a new set of extensions or did you update from tc-4.x?

Hello Gadget42,

thank you for the link, but that config does not make running sound.  Best.

SOLVED:

I have no logic reason.  Loading alsa and pulseaudio from .tcz does not run sound system.  I decompressed the core and extract all .tcz modules into core filesystem, add init scripts to /etc/init.d/tc-config and rebuild the TC core.  Now sound runs fine.

Thank you.  :-)
