I have some probplems regarding the sound in my linux box...
i've use modprobe from rc.d to install my sound card, i use it since slack 7.1 fisrs apear. the problem started when i've installed a network card, and the soundcard had change it;s irq, dma, etc...
i've changed the irqs and dms to the new values, and the card was installed.
at lsmod the modules apear, at booting it says sound card ok, but i can't hear any sound from the speakers...
pls help me...

If you are certain the kernel picked up the sound card (and the speakers are powered on and connected properly ), you might want to try and check the mixer volume.

The device is usually /dev/mixer, and sometimes the volume can be set too low. You could also try 'play -v 10 <soundfile>' to test playing a sound at a higher volume.

Hope this helps... If not, does "cat /dev/sndstat" do anything for you?

Uh, looks like we're talking about PnPray?

Try this:

pnpdump --config > /etc/isapnp.conf

isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf

I'm assuming you have ISA cards. Anyway, since you're already lost, I'm not pulling you too out of the track ;-)

The commands above should return you some tips about addresses and stuff.

Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and put the correct lines to load the modules. Take a look at /usr/src/Documentation (must install /slakware/k1/(forgot the name -- the kernel source .tgz). IT contains directives to modprobe.
