Well, I installed Slackware on my notebook, and I'm just finishing the details. The only hardware that didn't worked was the internal mic, which I used before in windows for recording university classes, or Skype.
I don't know exactly what is going on, looks like it wasn't detected at all. When I plug a mic on the p2 (duplex) jack it works. Just the internal mic isn't working. Alsaconfig does not exist anymore, isn't it? What can I do?

After I installed Slackware I discovered that the columns in the alsamixer are muted by default.
I can't guarntee this will work but it's worth a try.
Open your terminal and type "alsamixer" Use the right and left arrow to highlight each column.
If you see {mm} at the bottom of the column it's muted. To unmute it type "m" (the lowercase m)
