Tiny Core Extensions > TCE Corepure64
[Solved] Sound on ThinkPad T440p
MikeLockmoore:
Hello! It's been a very a very long time, but I'm the guy that started the "Topside" version of FLWM about 12 years ago, and posted some other FLTK apps like Fluff. Very recently I decided to try to get back into using TC and maybe even updating my apps and hopefully doing more.
I now have a ThinkPad T440p that's about ten years old but has a nice i7 CPU with lots of RAM. I started by installing 32-bit TC 14 on it, but I wanted to run TinyCorePure64, so set it up as a dual boot with 64 and 32 bit versions and have 64-bit the default. I confirmed with uname I'm running the 64-bit kernel. There's a variety of issues, but a deal-breaker right now is sound. I have tried to follow the guide posted by @Rich, but I don't get too far before having some issues.
I've installed the recommended ALSA extensions.
In the terminal, when I enter 'alsactl init' I get:
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC3232" "HDA{NUMBERS}" "0X17AA" "0X220e"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
OK, this seems encouraging. But then I run the suggested speaker-test command, I get
ALSA lib confmisc.c:767(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
{several more lines of error message}
Also I checked my Services from the Control Panel and don't see sound / ALSA listed as a service... there are four things and only dhcp is enabled (green).
Any suggestions? Also, another re-newb question... can I copy/paste text in the default FLTK terminal? Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Shift+C is not working for copy. I'm also having some trackpad issues so I can't middle-click on this. Maybe if I plug in an external mouse?
Anyway, thanks to anyone who tries to help me with this! Nice to see TC still plugging away!

Yes you can. I've never tried it with a touch pad. In fact, I disable the touch pad and only use a mouse:
Highlight the text to copy by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the mouse.
Place the mouse cursor where you want to paste the text and left click.
Center click to paste. If you have a 2 button mouse, click left and right buttons at the same time.

Thanks! I'll try with an external mouse.
Any thoughts on my ALSA sound config issue? I need to head off to sleep very soon, but I'll check back tomorrow.

Hi MikeLockmoore
I just did a quick install of alsa on a HP G42 laptop.
I installed alsa-config and alsa in that order.
I then ran:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ alsactl init
Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC270" "HDA:10ec0270,103c1444,00100100" "0x103c" "0x1444"
Hardware is initialized using a generic method
tc@box:~$ speaker-test [-Ddefault:1] -c2 -t wav -l1
speaker-test 1.2.1
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 2048 to 16384
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 16384
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Time per period = 2.678126
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
and heard the phrases Front Left and Front Right from their respective speakers.

I think the default key combo to paste in a terminal was shift-insert. Trackpads without a middle button can paste with left+right, or if using Xorg and the synaptics driver, you can configure a three-finger tap to be a middle click.
edit: have you installed the thinkpad-acpi extension? It's unlikely it affects sound, but being thinkpad-specific would be good anyway.
edit 2: you may be having the issue where HDMI output is marked as the default sound card, possibly. See "aplay -l" and "aplay -L".
