and when i try alsamixer: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
oh and about my lsmod i tried snd-ac97-codec because my intel8x0 won't work with it
aumix gives me: error loading mixer
and when i do modprobe snd-intel8x0 i get:

/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device

weird very weird can you help me because i'm searching almost a week for this solution now.
i also got alsa 1.0.5rc1 but that didn't made a diffrence
greetings form millu

EDIT
i followed the instructions on the alsa site but no succes
and also i seached the forum but still no help.
i even have .asoundrc and /etc/modules.conf reconfigured but still no help
please help me

Is that the stock kernel.

For a sis sound card (it appears this from top section) you need to use the trident sound not intel

the standard kernel that comes with slack10.0

must i use modprobe snd-trident?
it gives me:
bash-2.05b# modprobe snd-trident
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident.o.gz: init_module: No such device
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident.o.gz: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/sound/pci/trident/snd-trident.o.gz: insmod snd-trident failed

alsaconf gave me intel8x0 an legacy but a warning at using legacy

just check menuconfig: guess there are some sis chips that use the intel driver. my bad. mine uses the trident.

sorry, I am of no use here

can nobody help me with this?
pffff mayde deletling alsa
and reinstalling.

I'm no expert but for some reason the module for your onboard sound will not load,
Your sound should work without any problem,if it was me I would try another kernel or look for a fix at bugzilla,looks like somethings up with the kernel,like I said just a guess.
No driver no sound.

I'm just a Newbie going to beyond a newbie i could try to recompile maybe could that help? if it is my kernel why does it affuses to work with my P3 i tought x86 was fully compatible with pentium i'll look at bugzilla first thanks so for i'll post further on this tomorrow bye

i still don't know why, but to get my sound to work, i had to edit /etc/hotplug/blacklist and add the following the bottom:

snd-intel8x0



it's got something to do with which modules is loaded first, or probed, or something. i don't know, but it worked for me, you should give it a shot.
