Buffer size range from 2048 to 8192
Period size range from 1024 to 1024
Using max buffer size 8192
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024

To be safe , I maxed out every component in alsamixer .
Still , Hear nothing .

Did you check that the sliders in alsamixer were un-muted?

What hardware do you have?

Title: Re: no sound in tiny core 6.3
Post by: manit123 on October 17, 2015, 07:41:01 AM

yup , did
those with mm . i had pressed m to unmute .
Currently this is happening

Code: [Select]

$sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound  start
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
Something went wrong, sound was not set up.
$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
$
that bar graph type output is not appearing .

How do I find hardware ?

Use "lspci", "lsusb" and/or "aplay -l"

Your hardware will probably "just work" on loading the alsa extension and using alsamixer to un-mute the desired output.

You could use something simple like xmms to play an mp3 to test things (use ctrl-p to set the output to alsa).
