Hello 
I recently installed slitaz on an old PC that I have.
After the installation was complete everything was working fine except for the audio/sound.
I tried using various commands from other threads that had a similar problem and here is the output:
root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazhw detect-pci

Also when i try the soundconf command i get the following:
No supported PnP or PCI card found. Would you like to probe legacy ISA sound cards/chips?
-Yes
Probing legacy ISA cards might make your system unstable. Do you want to proceed?
-Yes
No legacy drivers are available for your machine
-OK
One of the audio cards is broken so I have a second one which works. The broken one is the Silicon Integrated Systems card and the one that works is the C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 card. I also forgot to mention that I have no Internet connection on this PC currently, which is not because of slitaz. So I will have to manually download tazpkg packages. I assume I will have to download from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/slitaz/packages/cooking/
Sorry for my bad English, I am self-taught.
Thanks in advance,

Verify you have snd-cmipci on your system:
[c]# tazpkg search-file snd-cmipci[/c]
If yes go to Step 2
If snd-cmipci is not on your system you have to install linux-sound with same kernel version of your installed kernel.
Cooking kernel:
[c]uname -a[/c]
Linux slitaz 3.2.71-slitaz #4 SMP Sun Jun 12 12:47:40 CEST 2016 i686 GNU/Linux
If cooking is installed use linux-sound-3.2.71.tazpkg
You fetch this from cooking repo.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/slitaz/packages/cooking/linux-sound-3.2.71.tazpkg
Install as root user in same directory with this command or provide path to package:
[c]tazpkg install linux-sound-3.2.71.tazpkg[/c]
Go to Step 2
Step 2
Open /etc/rcS.conf in text editor as root.
Add snd-cmipci to LOAD_MODULES=
Save/Exit
Reboot

Hello Mojo, thanks for the speedy reply!
I also verified that I have the snd-cmipci on my system:
tux@slitaz:~$ tazpkg search-file snd-cmipci
Search result for file snd-cmipci
================================================================================
Package linux-sound:
/lib/modules/3.2.71-slitaz/kernel/sound/pci/snd-cmipci.ko.xz
================================================================================
1 file(s) found for: snd-cmipci
tux@slitaz:~$
I also used the second command and here is the output:
tux@slitaz:~$ uname -a
Linux slitaz 2.6.37-slitaz #2 SMP Wed Mar 7 10:36:39 CET 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
tux@slitaz:~$
So am I supposed to download linux-sound-2.6.37.tazpkg? or the newest version?
When I opened the rcS.conf file I got the following there:
LOAD_MODULES=" sis_agp snd_intel8x0 snd_cmipci snd-intel8x0 snd-cmipci"
Should I change that to:
LOAD_MODULES="snd_cmipci"
Or something else?
Thanks again,

The kernel <version> must match the linux-sound-<version>.tazpkg
4.0 stable: Linux slitaz 2.6.37-slitaz #2 SMP Wed Mar 7 10:36:39 CET 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/slitaz/packages/stable/linux-sound-2.6.37.tazpkg
Don't use http://distro.ibiblio.org/slitaz/packages for a mirror
They don't have 4.0/stable packages.
/etc/rcS.conf:
[c]LOAD_MODULES="sis_agp snd_intel8x0 snd_cmipci"[/c]

Hello again,
I did everything you told me to do, but I still have no sound. I followed the steps exactly. What should I do now? Should I try soundconf again? Maybe something with alsa mixer?
Up until the reboot I was not able to open alsa mixer, but now I can.
Many thanks!

It looks like the last command didn't do anything?

If possible the broken sis soundcard needs to be disabled in the motherboards hardware bios.
It's claiming default card:0 which prevents the cmedia card from producing sound.
What follows is only necessary if sis soundcard can't be disabled in bios.
Prevent sis audio driver snd_intel8x0 from loading:
Change
/etc/rcS.conf:
LOAD_MODULES="sis_agp snd_intel8x0 snd_cmipci"
to
LOAD_MODULES="sis_agp snd_cmipci"
Reboot
Verify snd_intel8x0 is not loaded:
[c]lsmod | grep -i snd_intel8x0[/c]
If snd_intel8x0 is autoloading try to blacklist the module.
As root:
echo "blacklist snd-intel8x0" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Reboot

It worked!Thank you very much!
I prevented the snd_intel8x0 from loading by changing the line you told me.
After the reboot it worked fine!
Thanks again!

a small step, run alsamixer but still no sound ... I did this:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
reboot

SOLVED
just missing this, now the sound works well!
