Lenovo W530 sound in Slackware 14

[corge]

I am unable to get sound working in Slackware 14 on my Lenovo W530.

The audio device is:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Panther Point High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21f6
        Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

cat /proc/asound/card*/codec* |grep codec gives me:

Codec: Realtek ALC269VC

I have tried to create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf with the content:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

I have the kernel modules loaded:

lsmod |grep snd
snd_seq_dummy           1455  0 
snd_seq_oss            29048  0 
snd_seq_midi_event      5620  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                51265  5 snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_dummy
snd_seq_device          5228  3 snd_seq,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_dummy
snd_pcm_oss            39183  0

snd_timer              18798  2 snd_pcm,snd_seq
snd                    57796  12 snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hwdep,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek,thinkpad_acpi,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm_oss,snd_seq_device,snd_seq,snd_seq_oss
soundcore               5474  1 snd

In conclusion I have the kernel modules loaded, and it should work, however I have no sound. I get errors from audio players such as (from Audacious): "ALSA error: No suitable mixer element found.".

It is probably just that your alsa mixer settings are not correct. You probably need to enable your alsa mixer PCM sound device (hardware). Run the alsamixer command line application and turn up the volume for the PCM device.
