I think udev hasn't created devices for sound in /dev but i don't
understand howcome. it's always like that when i intall a new version
of alsa or upgrade the kernel

I'm using the generic-smp kernel

I think i have quite a lot to do

the usual proble with no sound after intall is that slackware
installs alsa muted. run alsamixer, un-mute master, and test.
if that works, then run 'alsactl store'.

That doesn't seems to be a issue with Slackware 12. I've just installed
it on my laptop and after running alsaconf I ran alsamixer as usual but
the card wasn't muted and the volume was turned up. So sound was up
after running alsaconf.

hmmmmmmmm.

it seems alsaconf does the un-mute for you, automagically.

in my case, i didn't know about alsaconf, and so did the
un-mute the oldfashioned way, with alsamixer.
i'm using the generic-smp kernel on a Dell 800 lapper, plain
vanilla full install, and the only problems (so far) are with
the ATI M4 video.

Thanx for the tip.

i dont know what happened during upgrade from slack11 to slack12, but
alsa-utils, alsa-lib, alsa-oss were not installed.
i noticed that just now;
i checked whether all other packs in ap and l directories were also not
installed but they seem they were actually installed.
