I just installed Slack 10.0. Sound does not work. I have a nVidia
intel 8x0 onboard sound and this chipset is recongized by alsaconf
properly. When I ran alsaconf, it configured the card and then I
unmuted the volume using aumix. As you can see below, all required
modules have been properly loaded. But I still do not have sound in
xmms. Yes, I am using the alsa plugin under xmms. Any clues?

Thank you.

Run rexima and see what it says about the volume. I've had bad luck
with alsaconf in the past. It would do exactly what you said, but when
I ran rexima it would show all the volume as muted. Simply increasing
the individual parts restored sound. I would then save that with
alsactl for later restoration.

Hi Alan,

Tried that just now. All volume controls are well tuned and still no sound.

I have no clue what is going on. Is there any module that is required
but not loaded?

Vikram

I had this same problem when using xmms but in both ways
on a elite group mother board K7S5A the sound was bad or to high
IE distorted and on a gigabit mb sound was poor or low.
Solution start kamix and look at the pcm control and play
with that slider until sound is the way you like.

If done disregard

Just a thought - have you made yourself a member of the appropriate group
(audio)? That was one unexpected new 'feature' (ok, I understand security
reasoning for the _general_ case, but not 'at home').

Does sound work as root? What are the permissions on /dev/audio,
/dev/mixer, and /dev/dsp?

no I dont have sound as root either. And there is rwx permission to all
users/groups on all three devices you mentioned.
