Fluxbox on IBM r40

So I am running slackware 10.2 with a 2.6.13 kernel and noticed that I do not get any sound through my speakers, but having previously ran KDE with the dame distro and kernel I know it is possible to have sound. I get no error message and alsa has had all volumes turned ona dn turned up. And no... XMMS is not muted or had volume turned down

Thanks, Eric

Is Alsamixer muted? It starts up muted by default.

No, alsamixer is not muted, but I will go in and check again just to be sure.

Check the mixer settings and make sure your user is in the audio group.
