Title: Sound
Post by: playmoboy on January 17, 2012, 03:12:00 PM

I would like to use Tiny Core Linux as my main OS but I cant get sound and java working. I don't know what to do for sound so instructions would be nice. As for java when i use the command 'java' in terminal it say it not a valid command. I have the jre 6 installed. I hope the fix is as simple as installing the jre 7 but haven't had time to try. Any help is appreciated.

Also why are there so many captchas?

Hi playmoboy
For sound, install either  alsa.tcz  OR  OSS.tcz  and be sure to read the  Info  tab in AppBrowser.

That's because the  path  environmental variable does not include the location it's installed in.

We used to have a spam problem.

I see in the app browser search result there are both alsa-oss.tcz & also alsa.tcz. There is no 'oss.tcz'.

I have no sound in either my laptop or in the desktop (sony VAIO and a Dell Dimension 4700), from within the OS, but I know that the hardware works in other OS's. I tried the 'lsmod | grep snd' command in the Terminal, and there was no output. I am thinking that my installation came without any sound drivers?

EDIT: After installing alsa.tcz and alsa-modules-5.15.10-tinycore.tcz, I tried the 'lsmod | grep snd' command once more, in the Terminal, and there is now output.

Thanks in advance.

OSS is no longer offered.

These are the ALSA installation instructions I usually recommend:

Pay attention to the order extensions are installed in.

Thank you. I am not sure, how I did it, but I think it is kind of working now.
Both units are now able to output sound.

After I reboot, it doesn't work till I type

Code: [Select]

alsactl init

Hi Kelikaku
Did you run steps 7 through 10 in the link I provided?

Post by: Kelikaku on February 26, 2022, 08:59:40 PM

I tried to, but several of the commands did not appear to change anything:

6. Run:

Code: [Select]

speaker-test [-Ddefault:1] -c2 -t wav -l1    If all went well, you should hear the phrases  "Front Left"  and  "Front Right"  from
    your left and right speakers respectively.
 7. Run:

Code: [Select]

sudo alsactl store

The speaker test command did not implement.  Screen shot below:

Hi Kelikaku
The image you attached shows you attempting to run  aplay , not  speaker-test.

Sorry. I had trouble getting the screen shot to work. 

I'll try again tomorrow and update this reply, with your permission.
