   hey folks,

   i installed slitaz on a friends sony vaio netbook.
   everything is working fine, apart from sound..
   there is no sound icon displayed in the panel.

   #less /proc/asound/cards

   0 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
   HD-Audio Generic at 0xf0244000 irq 19
   1 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
   HDA ATI SB at 0xf0240000 irq 16

   i have the feeling the sound cards are initialised the wrong way around.
   am i mistaking?
   can anyone help/clarify?

   thanks!

   Hi Kenneth,
   your description sounds familiar to me.
   My problem was that the kernel 3.2.71 (Slitaz 5.0 rc3) recognized the card and loaded the module but somehow the "ALSA" script that runs during the boot process did not recognize the sound card and therefore no sound icon resp. volume control was displayed in the panel.
   I solved the problem by adding the sound module (in my case it was snd_maestro3 for an ESS sound card) to the preload statement in the boot script
   --> line "LOAD_MODULES=" in /etc/rcS.sh
   Then I had to run "alsactl init" and "alsactl store" once as root, and that was all. Ever after the volume control is displayed in the panel and sound is working fine.
   Hope this helps.

   thanks for the tip!

   i forgot to mention, i can output sound via aplay.
   it just seems to be initialised the wrong way around (0 inststead 1 and vice versa)

   $ aplay -l
   **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
   card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
   card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
   Subdevices: 1/1
   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

   card 0 seems to be the hdmi port.. using aplay i managed to output sound on card 1.

   so it shouldnt be a module problem..

   it'd be nice to switch the order and bingo :)

   Try this:
   create asound.conf file with following content:
   defaults.pcm.card 1
   defaults.ctl.card 1
   and copy it to /etc
