Error while initializing the sound driver.

[duffmckagan]

I have Slackware 10.2.

Here is the Error Message that I get ..when I login to my account.
I searched about this problem on google, and found a lot of results, but nothing which could help me out.

Also, the problem exists in my root account. (So I don't think its a permission problem. )






Here is the output of lsmod

amit@copperskull:~$ lsmod

ignore this post please

[kern]

as root, type 'alsaconf', and setup your soundcard

after its finished, if it got a card, run 'alsamixer' and unmute the channels and set the volume, exit that, run 'alsactl store' to store the mixer settings

do you have /dev/dsp after setting up alsa then?

start the alsa service with 'chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa' '/etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start'

make sure you have these packages installed:

alsa-lib-1.0.10-i486-1
alsa-oss-1.0.10-i486-1
alsa-utils-1.0.10-i486-1
alsa-driver-(your-kernel)
