slackware 10.1 and problems with sound? =/

[mr.gizm0]

Heya guys, I'm having a few problems with getting my sound to work since I upgraded from slackware 9.1 to 10.1, with 9.1 it detected my sound card straight away and I ran alsaconf and alsamixer turned up the volume everything was fine. Things are abit weird now though, The sound appears to play in xmms although on start up I get

libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've also tried playing an avi in xine which plays with no sound aswell.

So far I've
1) ran alsaconfig
2) ran alsamixer
3) umuted the volume using the up arrows
4) ran alsactl store
which found my card apparently as
"intel8x0 Silicon Intergrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0)".

which didn't seem to make any difference.

the I
5) downloaded the latest alsa-driver ./configure'd and did make && make install on it, which completed successful.
6) re ran alsaconfig, same card detected.
7) re ran alsamixer to check volume, which was the same as before.

all with no luck, so I tried to change the settings in xmms from the Oss driver to the alsa output plugin and tried to replay the mp3, still with no luck

lspci reports

00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0)

i'm not exactly 100% sure what the sound card is, but all I know is, I had no problems with a fresh install of slackware 9.1.

if anyone can help even get slightly closer to fixing this problem, I will be grateful,

thanks,

try checking /etc/hotplug/blacklist and see if snd-intel8x0m is blacklisted, if it is, remove it and try

modprobe snd-intel8x0m

see if this does the trick

Don't want to step on any toes here but I wanted to interject something
On my lappy snd-intel8x0m is my modem and snd-intel8x0 is my sound card and to get my sound to work i had to add snd-intel8x0m to my blacklist and modprobe snd-intel8x0
I hope this works for you.

also see if you can mess with the setting in kmix

that's probably what it is, i only remembered that an intel 8x0 sound device had been added to the blacklist as shown on the current changelog

The answer to the first part of your question is to install a package:

I'm having a similar problem. Everytime i boot my computer up, the sound isn't working. I have to open up the konsole and use alsaconf to get the sound working again. How do I set it to where it will automatically start when it's booted. Thanks.

you dont need to install that package, its just an input/output plugin

you'll notice if you start XMMS from the command line it'll complain that it can't load whatever audio decoding libraries you dont have installed, but it'll work fine.

its just saying the mikmod library is installed, but this in no way means you have to install it to fix xmms.
