This is a fresh install of Slackware 10 on a Dell C640 notebook.

The installation completed without any problems. After booting to the new
system, I try to run alsamixer to setup my sound card (lsmod shows the
correct snd-intel8x0 drivers are loaded) I receive the following error:

"No mixer elems found"

Any ideas?

Thanks to all the professional "Slackers" out there,

Even after searching for the solution for the last hour, I found the fix
just a few minutes after my original post. Here is the solution:

According to the bug report from alsa-project.org (bug id 0000245), hotplug
is automatically loading the snd-intel8x0m (modem) module. After adding
this module to /etc/hotplug/blacklist, alsamixer and the sound is working
just fine.

It seems they really create sound-chips without mixer/volume control.
Maybe you can find something here:

If you have udev running on your system, you need to edit a permissions file
in /etc/udev/ so that it'll be properly open.

I had the same issue... I opened KMix > put an "X" in the "Advanced"
box and played around with the green radio buttons... and ended up
turning off Exchange D... and IEC958 Out...

I tried all the rest got the best sound with those options....
