I'm having issues getting the sound to work on a laptop that has a
AC'97 Audio Controller. The laptop is a Compaq Presario 2720US.
I'm not sure what is causing this issue, but I could really use some
help to resolve it.
I've attached the output from the ALSA Information Script v 0.4.60.
For some reason I do have sound with the latest Puppy Linux, Slacko
5.3.1. Slacko 5.3.1 uses ALSA as well, but might be configured
different.
Any help would be great, I can also offer any other info that might be needed.
