Hi,

I recently installed Slackware 9.1 on my system. I used swaret and updated
to 'current' (not the kernel)

I really only have 2 issues with Slackware.

1. Alsa will not recognize my sound (Realtec ALC202 AC97)

2. will not recognize the built in wireless. (mini=pic type IIIB, 80211.b)
That is all the infor I have, I may have to goto the vendor for better
hardware information.

Can anyone help me get sound or the wireless working?

-Jason

What modules did you load? There aren't that many wireless ethernet
interfaces (unlike wired!), so it might not hurt to load some of them to
see if they work. And yes, getting some specs from the vendor would be
very helpful.

For your root, have you ran the command alsaconf?

Hmmm. Do other sound servers work, such as OSS and/or ESD?

Hmmm, might want to try compiling your own kernel, using bare.i as a
template, to check those drivers and make sure they're configured into the
kernel as modules at least.

Check the TAr's inside. You have a problem with soundcard, because they
are compiled for the 2.4.24 kernel. And if you are using for example
2.4.22 this is not going to work. It could be the same thing with
wireless. Compile the sources by yourself.

I too have been fighting the alsa nightmare in a recent install of
slackware9.1, but from I have seen the AC97 uses the emu10k1 that
the soundblaster live uses.

I am having a permissions problem, but I know not where. alsa works
from root, yet not as a non-root user.

root@wmr_srv01:/home/wmr $ aplay -D default
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/res/samples/test.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/res/samples/test.wav' : Unsigned 8
bit, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono
root@wmr_srv01:/

wmr@wmr_srv01:~ $ aplay -D default
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/res/samples/test.wav
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
failed: Permission denied
aplay: main:484: audio open error: Permission denied
wmr@wmr_srv01:~ $

I have already added wmr and users to the sys group.
Any Ideas?
