I don't have sound in Slackware 14.1 64bits
 

Hi, I am new in Slackware. I installed it with KDE.
When I am starting the system this appears:

But there is a good new. When I run "aplay -D plughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" (A command that I found surfing in Internet) The pc give me sound.


In no other way I have sound. What can I do? Thanks a lot

Sorry for my basic english

What is your sound card? Running the command lspci in a terminal should report that information.

I've gotten those same KDE messages. I always ignore them and make them go away. I do not think, though I may be wrong, that they have any bearing on the larger issue.

Thanks. I solved it changing in /etc/inittab
From:
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:
To:
# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:3:initdefault:

I wonder why this change solved the problem xD

Changing the runlevel from 3 to 4 should of given you a GUI.
If changing the runlevel fixed the sound I'd like to know how?

This thread is a duplicated in the the Slackware forum. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ts-4175541255/

The explanation for the effect by changing run levels when a user has not been explicitly made a member of the audio group when the adduser command was used is here. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5355701
