I think I may have figured out my no sound problem on slackware.

I went into alsamixer and saw at the top it had "Ensoniq" as the sound card. I know my sound card is SB Audigy. Is there a way i can make SB audigy my sound card?

Please reply if you have any info on this. Thank in advance!

Uhh, when you installed alsa did you specify your soundcard/driver as emu10k1 in some sort of environment variable?

If not, try doing that - when I compiled alsa (I run gentoo) for my audigy I simply specified ENV_VARIABLE (or something like that) ="snd-emu10k1" (or something like that...).

Hope that helps (and if I'm stating the obvious, sorry),

It doesn't work quite like that in Slackware. Try running 'alsaconf' as root to configure it properly. Your onboard card may require the Ensoniq driver and that is what alsamixer detects first.

Alsaconf will create entries in your modules.conf file like this:

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF verion 0.9.0 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd major=116 cards_limit=1
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

that will tell alsa which card to run.
