When I try to listen to some of my music files, I can't get any sound at all to come out of my speakers. I'm running Slackware 10 and have ran ALSA.
Here's /sbin/lspci
/sbin$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03)
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03)
00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02)
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02)
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02)
00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA USB (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA AC'97 Audio (rev 02)

I read in another forum that a guy relized that his volume was muted, but by running ALSA before he knew this, it messed his audio up. If this is the case how can I remove the ALSA settings. If it is not the case, any help is greatly appreciated.
When I try locate alsamixer I get this: locate alsamixer
warning: locate: could not open database: /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db: No such file or directory
I think that says that the locate database isn't there but I'm not sure.
