[Fwd:CORRECTION - Getting sound to work in Slackware]

[sciguy-Ja3L+HSX0kI at public.gmane.org]

I didn't use isapnp - I used pnpdump to detect plug-and-play cards.

Again, if anyone can refer me to appropriate reading material would be
appreciated. I have gone through the Sound-HOWTO, and:

1. there is no plug-and-play on my system (according to isapnp)
   CORRECTION: that should be "pnpdump", not isapnp
2. the kernel modules for sound are present (seems like more modules than
   I expected) - listed below
3. the default device files are all there and appear to be OK
4. I have configured ALSA (alsamixer), and it seems to load OK (no errors)
5. When I play an mp3 file, I get a repeating message
         "ALSA: underrun, at least 0ms."
   and no sound.
6. None of the system sounds work either, even though it is enabled.

If anyone can help. For what it is worth, the output of lsmod appears
below. I must remark on an unusual number of sound modules from what I am
used to seeing in other distros.
