Yes, alsa - use the apps gui to view the alsa info file, download and load it - the icon at the bottom of the screen that looks like a screw head with a blue arrow.

alsa just enables sound, you need additional packages to play sound.

Does this give anything:
Code: [Select]
aplay -l
If not reboot your machine and then:
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i alsa-config
tce-load -i alsa
aplay -l
speaker-test -c2 -t wav -l1

This is not helpful for troubleshooting, you need to report exactly what error message was given.

It looks like you entered "tce-ab" instead of "tce-load -i alsa-config"

You can use the apps gui to load the extensions as long as you load alsa-config before alsa.

"aplay -l" is a command provided by the alsa extension so, if the alsa extension is not loaded, the aplay command will not be available.

As said before, reboot and then open a terminal window and enter the following:
Code: [Select]
tce-load -i alsa-config
tce-load -i alsa
aplay -l
speaker-test -c2 -t wav -l1

Also, there is no need to use screenshots, you can copy and paste the text into your browser. In linux to copy and paste, highlight the text you want to copy and then paste it with the middle mouse button (or by simultaneously pressing the left and right mouse buttons if you don't have a middle button).

OK tried it again! copy and paste not working no middle mouse button only a roller. pressing the two buttons together only paste into the terminal

It very clearly says "alsa-config not found" and yet you carried on going...
