Thanks! I made it, I have now normal sound in Slackware 9.1 First I did make modules, then make modules_install after which I had no more sound. Doing /sbin/insmod soundcore it spit back no such file. Then I found that there is no .../drivers/sound folder. I copied it over from RedHat9. Did insmod soundcore, ac97_codec, via82cxxx_audio and all sounded normally. Then I put those insmod commands into rc.local. Using modprobe I get error no such file soundcore etc.
I do not know if this is a professional solution, but it works. Now to some of your questions: In RedHat xconfig Sound has only one setting, sound card support yes. That is what I put in Slackware and put 'no' on all the other settings which were there. When you mentioned OSS I put that on 'yes' in SW.

According to Richard of pa3gcu my problem is well know of ALSA drivers. [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > though we customarily treat all 2.4.22 (for example) kernel sources > as the same in these discussions, that is not exactly true As I mentioned I took the SW kernel 2.4.22 from the Slackware Installation Disk and installed it in RH9 and even in RH7.3. Therefore, I assume that they are the same. In RH7.3 I had the kernel 2.4.18-7 and could open siag office. When I installed RH9.0 with kernel 2.4.18-9 siag office would not open; don't ask me why and by now I forgot the error message. Since siag office opens in SW9.1 with kernel 2.4.22 I put that kernel into RH9.0 and siag office runs again. Thanks to your help and patience I am almost ready to fully switch to SW9.1. Sorry for my sometimes not too professional descriptions of facts.
