Slackware 12.2 no sound

corbintechboy · 05-03-2009, 02:56 PM

Hello,

Just did a fresh Slackware 12.2 install and I have no sound. I ran alsaconf and it finds my soundcard and it seemed to put things in place:

Code:

soundcore              10080  1 snd

When I try and run any kind of sound in firefox it results in a browser lock up. I also get a sound error when KDE starts.

Any ideas?

Forgot to add its a Creative Audigy platinium 2 sound card.

After running alsaconf did you run alsamixer and unmute sound? Did you run alsactl store?

Yes I did. For some reason it seems to only want to deal with the sound on my HDMI. I don't really understand what's going on, been a loooooong time since I have had to worry about anything to do with sound.

Thanks for the reply!

I got it working. Compiled a brand new 2.6.29 kernel and picked it up right off. And man this thing boots friggin fast with a trimmed kernel first Slack install on this machine

Nice. Yeah, the 2.6.29.2 kernel works well indeed. Glad you got it working.

Why don't you try Open Sound System? Your Sound Blaster is well supported
by this driver.

OSS was depreciated in favor of ALSA a long time ago.
