How exactly did you do that?

I just did the same thing and had the same problem. Finally figured it out. Went to www.slackware.com
Went to the packages section.
in Slackware current, searched for Alsa. Came up with four packages.
as root, did:
upgradepkg packagename.tgz
for all 4.
Run:
alsaconf (as root) it will go through some steps...(Should detect your sound card.) Reboot and you're all good!
Here's a link to the 4 alsa packages.

Well, you know, I'm not really sure. But I can tell you what I did and it worked so here goes.
I installed
alsa-lib
alsa-utils
alsa-oss
alsa-driver
In that order.
