No audio, falling back to default. Slackware14
 

Attachment 11875Attachment 11874

After installing Nvidia video driver, all sound stopped working. Attached is an image of the error message I get.

New-ish to Slackware and Linux in general. What can I try to fix the issue?

I've tried this, but after rebooting it is still the same.

Thank you,
Erik

It looks like you have a system with multiple audio outputs.
There appears to be an onboard HDA Intel chipset with an ALC889 codec that is offering analog, digital and HDMI outputs as well as an HDMI output on your nVidia.
Perhaps this SlackDocs page can help. Also look at the discussion tab.

Made the asound.conf file in /etc but it didnt seem to do anything.
Ideas?

Try, as root
and rebooting.
Hopefully this will allow your other device to be seen by the kernel. You may need to do this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...5/#post4289480 if your other device appears.

sorry, i feel silly. I had the sound disabled in the BIOS. ..Check the fuse they said..ha!
