Alsa woes, slackware 10.2

have you upgraded your alsa-* packages? (alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss)?

I belive willysr is referring to the alsa-* packages in the testing/linux-2.6* folder of the slackware directory. This is a must if you are using 2.6 kernel.

i don't think it must use 2.6.x kernel, since it can be used also when we are using 2.4.x kernel. It was only binaries for alsa packages and libraries

right, but there are different binaries to use with the 2.4 kernel then the 2.6 kernel. The default alsa binaries are for the 2.4 kernel. If you are using the 2.6 kernel, you need to use the alsa binaries from the testing/Linux-2.6.*/ directory which is called alsa-driver-1.0.10_2.6.15.3-i486-1.tgz as apposed to the default alsa-driver-1.0.10_2.4.32-i486-2.tgz in the '/l' directory. alsa-lib and alsa-utils are not kernel specific.

yup, the alsa-driver was kernel-spesific
i mean the alsa-lib, alsa-oss, and alsa-utils (i have mentioned this in my previous post) hehehe

my apologies, maybe I should read a little more carefully before responding.
