That quite puzzles me... let me make sure if i understand this situation correctly...
1. Your "lspci" shows the card as "Intel i810" ok.
2. "alsaconf" shows your card as something like that "Intel i8x0" in "Following card(s) are found on your system" screen.
3. You choose the card and "alsaconf" completes ok. (Asks to run "alsamixer")
4. You run "alsamixer" and it spits out "no mixer device found"...
5. You do "aplay [some wav file]" and an error, or nothing at all comes out.
Hmmm.... If all of the above are correct, I would suspect a broken ALSA installation. i.e. Some of the modules don't load correctly or settings are off. I would try to reload ALSA. Successful alsaconf should allign all modules and set up for the card.
0. Clean up/remove all the settings files mentioned by me in previous post.
1. First from CD1:/Slackware/l/ folder. Do "installpkg alsa*.tgz" (i think it's in /l folder, plz do "ls alsa* to check) Then I would go through the "alsaconf", "alsamixer", "aplay [wav]"
2. If above doesn't work, I would download the thing from alsa-project.org, use their instructions to compile and install, and try "alsaconf" "alsamixer" again.
If you get "no mixer device..." after that... it's a little beyond my ability to help, as I don't have the i8x0.
EDIT: This guy
here seems to have the same problem. A poster suggested to check permission. (Which is sorta way past my experience/concern since I am k2.6.8 with udev.)
my permissions look like that:
root@kasper2:/dev/sound# ls -la
crw-rw--w- 1 root audio 14, 3 2004-08-27 14:18 dsp
crw-rw--w- 1 root audio 14, 0 2004-08-27 14:18 mixer
and for /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
crw-rw-rw- 1 root audio 116, 16 2004-08-27 14:18 pcmC0D0p
