I am using slackware 10 and I can't get anything to play sound, I have already unmuted the sound and turned it up, and ran alsconfig but still nothing has worked.
Laptop brand is ibuypower.com so not really a brand. Help is apperciated, Thanks

I have the same sound card, check
1- does alsaconfig detect anything called
intel8x0?

2- Which kernel are you using?

3- In Slackwar 10.0 in CD2 in /testing you will find packages a for the 2.6.7 kernel, along with corresponding alsa packages, have you tried those out?

4- are you a complete newbie? Can you compile your kernel with alsa intel8x0 driver buitl in?

/me have the same problem. The modules load correctly, but no sound is heard.
