You should try adding your user to the audio group and see if a permissions issue is preventing you from acessing the sound card. Add your user to the audio group by using the following command as root:
Code:
gpasswd -a username audio
I would also recommend adding your user to the plugdev, cdrom and video groups using a similar command (replacing audio with the desired group name, obviously). I'm not sure if this is relevant to your sound problem or not -- but you should be in the audio group (and the plugdev, cdrom and video groups) anyway.

Please post the ENTIRE output of
Code:
lspci -vv
(please enclose your output in [_CODE] and [_/CODE] tags, leaving out the _, to make it easier to read). In KDE, you can use the Konsole program (in the System menu) to copy the code so you don't have to type it manually. Just highlight the ouput, right-click the highlighted text and click Copy. Then, open Firefox (in the Internet menu), navigate to these forums and this thread, and reply -- you can right-click in the textbox and click Paste to paste (obviously). It does indeed look like you have two sound cards -- a USB one and an extra card. The SoundBlaster is most likely the extra card that you want to use, whereas the snd-usb-audio is the unidentified USB sound card. Try typing the following (enter your root password when prompted after the su command):
Code:
su
rmmod snd-usb-audio
alsaconf
alsamixer
alsactl store
aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Beep.wav
exit
Select the SoundBlaster card in alsaconf. In alsamixer, you should set all of the volume bars to the highest levels (move between bars using the left and right arrow keys and increase the volume with the up arrow key). Unmute all of the bars using the m key (it should say 00 at the bottom, NOT MM).

[edit]Oops, I assumed you had internet access from your Slackware PC, which you said you didn't yet. You could save the output as a text file that you could copy to a USB key and post later on another PC, or attempt to get your internet working on your Slackware PC (use the netconfig command as root).[/edit]

Sorry I did not know what really to do. I kept literally seeing my post drop lower and lower every few hours. So I was wondering if anyone would even help me at alll. All the things I have been doing have been from root I have not created a secondary yet. when I do this "alsaconf" yea the utlity comes up and appears all is well. After selecting it. When I type alsamixer I see no volume settings its just a black screen that displays a few things I can't change anything it displays.
