Hi, I've tried just about everything i've found on google to get my sound working on my compaq v2000 laptop. no luck, im using xmms on slackware 10.2 default 2.4 kernel, kde and I keep getting

** WARNING **: oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such device

I've read that i should be using the snd-intel8x0 module, here is my lsmod.

and esd -d /dev/dsp shows

ALSA lib pcm.c:2090snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/dsp
