slackware 10.1 sound dev issues

jocool5 · 08-19-2005, 08:38 AM

Hi all
I have a fijitsulifebook 735Dx, If you do your homework you will find out it is older. I need help configuring the sound card that is in it. Form all that i have read i should use it like a sb pro. but i don't know what program to use to config it or how to manipulate the files for the card. I am using slackware 10.1 with KDE, and no GNOME installed. Help is appreciated

I do get an error message when slack first starts up some thing about /dev/dsp deing invalid. i looked and the file is blank...?

hello!

have you tried running the old faithful (as root) ?

Code:

alsaconf
alsamixer
alsactl store

What is the output of (as root) lspci is that doesn't work? Presuming that it's a PCI card. Or is it isa?
