Onboard Sound

[johnmann]

I installed Slackware 9.1 on one of my newer boxes. It has an Abit IT7-MAX2 motherboard with Realtek ALC650 onboard sound and I cannot get it working in Slackware.My problem is I do not have the slightest idea on what driver to use. I looked in rc.modules and did an xconfig and saw nothing that looked like what I needed. I have SuSE 9.0 and Libranet 2.8.1 on the same computer and sound works fine.So, does somebody here have a solution to my problem?

Thanks

Can you post the result of the lspci command?

Have you tried typing alsaconf in a terminal? If I'm not mistaken (and I very well could be), it has the capability to try an autodetection of your sound chip. Give it a shot, it worked for me (I have a VIA onboard sound chip). This thread might be of some help, as well.

Cheers

What module is it using under one of the other distros? Also, did you enable hotplug when you installed Slack?
