Intel soundcard not working on slack 10.1
 
Hi,

I'm posting this from my slackware PC, yay! Everything is working as expected, I got limewire, opera, amule, all setup, I can download files from my Windows network and all is going great.

However, I want to start changing my video habits (seeing movies in Windows) to Slackware, I have tried to play CD's, looking at Movies on my slackware PC (the avi's downloaded from windows PC) and it seems to not work.

'alsaconf' detects my card, but it doesn't work. As user I use 'alsamixer' and I get an error:

francisco@slacker:~$ alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
francisco@slacker:~$

I have attached my /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

And a screenshot of ROOT console doing 'alsaconf' on detected devices, it detects TWO of the same kind :rolleyes:

I see this error when hitting OK after "module configured"

Loading driver...
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 619: rcalsasound: command not found
Setting default volumes...

===============================================================================

Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.

Have a lot of fun!


Thanks for the help :D

Oh also, how could I enable the scroller on my mouse? ;)

Probably this has something to do with a wrong module.
Check if snd-intel8x0m is loaded with the command lsmod.
If it is loaded, remove it with rmmod snd-intel8x0m.
Add snd-intel8x0m to /etc/hotplug/blacklist.
Run alsaconf and try if alsamixer now works.

Hi, thanks for the reply :)

The module is not loaded, seems to.
