need help with sound slack 11


Hi everyone
I can't seem to get any out out of my new slack 11
In the kernel I have
sound card support as module
alsa as module

I tried doing alsaconf and everything seems to be ok, but I can 't get any sound out of amarok

What I go did was
alsaconf
/etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start
alsamixer
alsactl store

thank you

First check that the correct module is loaded for your sound card.

what kernel are you using (2.6 or 2.4). With 2.6, udev may wrongly detect your sound card and load the wrong module (this can happen with on-board sound card).

Please provide information about your sound card and the modules loaded:

type in as root:

lspci -v

lsmod

Post the results.

Your card module (snd_emu10k1) seems to be correctly loaded.

Please add your user to the audio group and then end your KDE session et re-open a new one.

Your user need to belong to the audio group to be able to read the /dev devices for sound (/dev/dsp or /dev/sound/dsp).
