I am trying to get sound working on my new machine for
last couple of days with no luck.
I am getting this strange error from amixer when I try to
unmute the sound card. I really don't know why the
driver is muted by default. It is complaining that there
are no ALSA drivers in the system.
I have an Intel 810 AC97 (Avance Logic ALC200) sound
built on to my Abit TH7II-RAID motherboard.
My System
Motherboard: Abit TH7II-RAID with Intel 810 AC97 (ALC200)
Linux: Slackware Version 8 with kernel 2.4.17 (No sound built in)
This is what I did.

Is it bacause of the IRQ is shared with my network card.
I tried running workman, mpg123 all of them runs without any complaint
but no output. I tried to increase the volume using these but no use.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ismail

My computer said "Windows 98/2000 or better", so I installed Linux.
