Question Another sound thread. Toshiba Satellite C75


After installing Slackware 14.1, I noticed that I have sound when KDE start but not able to play any other sounds files (mp3 , videos .... of flash videos or online streaming)Also the KMix icon in the taskbar is muted thus the Master Volume is 100%.
After reading other threads and the Slackware docs http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:har...s_on_slackware I came to the conclusion that my system is using the wrong card. The following are the result of my intents:

Code:
lsmod | grep snd
snd_hda_codec_conexant    35276  1 
snd_hda_codec_hdmi     29622  1 
snd_hda_intel          34861  4 
snd_hda_codec         143196  3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               6388  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm                76009  3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
snd_page_alloc          7098  2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
snd_timer              18614  1 snd_pcm
snd                    58630  15 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
soundcore               5354  1 snd
After that;

Code:
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: CX20756 Analog [CX20756 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Then after alsamixer it gave three two card "- default" and "0 HD-Audio Generic". None of this card has setting available. A third card showed up with F6; "1 HD-Audio-Generic". On this one I was able to increase the Master Volume and disable muted. The information giving on this screen is Conexant CX 20756.

After trying the following command as the Slackware document suggested this are the results:
Code:
aplay -D plughw:1,0 test.wav
test.wav: No such file or directory
The I read this page ...http://docs.slackware.com/talk:howtos:hardware:sound_problems_on_slackware?s[]=sound where is suggested to do it differently, therefore I did:
Code:
aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav
test.wav: No such file or directory
So finally after this long thread I don't know what I'm doing I need help on this.
Thanks

Two possible methods to try:
1. Create a /etc/modprode.d/snd-hda-intel.conf file containing:
Code:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel

options snd-hda-intel id=Generic_1 index=0
options snd-hda-intel id=Generic index=1
OR

2. Create an asound.conf file like in this post http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...4/#post5122129 which was reported to be working with similar hardware.

BTW - Note the message 'test.wav: No such file or directory'. As stated on the SlackDocs page
Quote:
test.wav is a sound file e.g. /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
