I ran alsaconf, it seemed to work correctly, said everything was setup properly, but I have no sound.

I have slack10, K7S8X with the inbuilt sis sound controller. The module that was selected to be used by alsa was intel8x0. Everything is loaded as u can see (`lsmod`) but I still have no sound. Any ideas?

I've decided to disable the kde sound thinking that might be taking control of the sound, but that didn't help either.

The mixer settings are muted by default. Try running "alsamixer" and unmute / turn up the volume control(s).

Hope this helps.

I had already done that, all sounds are up and unmuted. Still no sound though.

When you go into alsa mixer is there an MM above the master? If there is press M to toggle mute on and off. This solved my problem.

the MM's means they are muted. But mine have no MM, they are not muted.

ttilt it's loading the wrong driver, I bet it's because your kernel's too old to support the SiS controller. Consider upgrading to kernel 2.6.9, but if you do make sure you update module-init-tools to v3.0

yea im about to upgrade to 2.6.9, I'll let u guys know how it goes.

btw.: If I update, should I removepkg the alsa drivers, utils etc that comes w/ slack 10, since the new kernel already comes w/ the drivers ? I know the new kernel doesn't come w/ the alsa-utils, so I could let that in. Let me know what u think.

Thanks.

actually i just realized that slack10 already comes w/ alsa 1.05, so shouldn't that mean that upgrading the kernel wouldn't matter in terms of sound? After all, the new kernel's drivers are actually a lower version of alsa.

You could try reverting to the old module that you were using that worked. That's what I had to do after I accidently updated alsa with swaret.

sound never worked since I installed slack10

ok i installed the new kernel 2.6.9, got all the sound modules inserted, alsamixer shows all volumes up and unmuted but i still got now sound.

The sound module that's being used is the intel8x0, maybe thats not the correct module for this motherboard (ASROCK K7S8X) ?

Doesnt anyone else have this motherboard??

type " #lspci " to see how the sound-dev. is recognized.

egag

the sound line from lspci:

00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0)

didn't think this would baffle even the gurus here...
