Compaq Evo N1000c w/Slackware 10.0 onboard ADI soundmax not fuctioning
 

I am trying to configure my Compaq Evo N1000c office laptop as a dualboot XP Slackware box, but am unable to get the sound to function. According to the following lspci Linux sees my sound card:

I followed the steps at alsa-project to install the modules for snd-intel8x0 support [I would include a link but this is my second post and the system will not allow it] but it did not function.

Thanks,
Daniel

what's the output of "lsmod"?? have your already ran "alsaconf"??

alsaconf did the trick. I had not heard about it.

Many Thanks win32sux,
Daniel

midi support
 

Is there a separate way to configure a midi device? upon trying to configure the sound in KDE-control center under slack, there aren't any devices next to midi. The soundcard being used has midi support.

lsmod gives:
