Hi, i'm a newbie
moved from fedora 3 to slack 10.2, the problem is, in fedora 3, i could play music without any problems, i hadn't installed anything for that (like drivers), but in slack, it doesn't play sound, plz help me out
Before doing the steps above, you might need to run "alsaconf" from a root terminal and step through setting up your sound card. You should not have to make any specific choices, and then run the steps above to complete the configuration.
All of the channels are muted by default, you need to hit "M" to unmute. Turning up the volume alone will not unmute the channel automatically if I remember correctly.
