Have you recently recompiled your kernel?

Was it working before?
If it was, what has changed?
Is this a new install of Slackware? What version?

What is the output of 'lsmod'?
What is the output of 'lspci'?

I see a AC97 codec. Do you have a modem? Do you use it? If not, disable it in BIOS, and try alsaconf (as root) again. I had the same problem w/mine when the modem was enabled during install...alsa thinks it's a soundcard type thing, and drivers are a bugger for it.

If you need the modem, I don't know offhand what I did....

Look at my homepage in my sig...I don't recall if I updated it about the modem

Plus, look at the other link about DRI for X, may save you headaches later.

The modem situation didn't work, so I took the modem out of my computer. It still didn't work.

cwwilson721 · 04-09-2006, 05:24 PM

Try

Code:

alsactl restore

What does it say?

Froboi · 04-09-2006, 05:32 PM

It says:
alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found...

cwwilson721 · 04-09-2006, 05:55 PM

After alsactl restore?

Thats odd.

Try

Code:

modprobe emu10k1

then try alsaconf again
