ALSA Woes!? And KDE sounds
 
I'm having trouble with my sound...
I'm running alsa-driver-1.0.7rc2 and Slackware 10
Sound in Mplayer and xmms work fine, but KDE sounds do not work.
Before it complained I didn't have /dev/dsp but I ran snddevices and it made the links... but that didn't solve the problem. Now it says like trying to open defualt sound device.. or something and it doesnt work.
If I try to run quake 2 it says :

------- sound initialization -------
/dev/dsp: Broken pipe
Could not toggle.
Segmentation fault

output of lsmod gives me

what sound card are you using?

if you go to the alsa website, it can tell you what modules need to be running for your sound card to work. then i would do a lsmod, to see if those mods are loaded, if not load them with a modprobe. If it can't find the modules. then recompile alsa with the modules according to the instructions on the alsa webpage.

KDE 3.3 by chance?

There is a recent thread here at LQ/slackware if it is the case.
(same or similar problem?)

Info contained there fixed some peoples problems, others it didn't (yet).
