Make sound work in piCore64.

Hi al TC users!

Now I only use TC on Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 but I can't get the sound to work. I have looked around but I haven't found a HOWTO or similar when it comes to the sound. I can get a video to work but without sound. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Greetings,

Hi meo
What steps did you take to enable sound?
Did you install  alsa.tcz ?
Did you install  alsa-utils.tcz ?
Do you have speakers connected and turned on?

Command line command:
Can you test easy with.

Code: [Select]

speaker-test -c 2 -t wav
And if you using raspberry pi, you have three ways of outputting sound, to the 3.5mm jack, and hdmi and bluetooth via bluetoothd & bluealsa

You can also use

Code: [Select]

aplay -L
Or

Code: [Select]

aplay -l
To see what devices you can output to.

And you have to change the config.txt to support sound.

I have powered speakers connected to the audio jack on my hdmi display - all I have to do is load alsa and I have sound from the Xorg-3d gui.

As I recall, if I connect the powered speakers to the RPi audio jack directly, I get sound from the console prompt after loading alsa.
