Hi Alex,
I just installed Slackware 8.1 with the stock speakup.i kernel
2.4.18 on a new system for a friend, and the alsa drivers
0.9.0rc7 work like a charm right out of the box. The sound card
is actually built into the motherboard and is an Intel ac'97
multimedia controller. The driver I used was intel8x0. Then I
upgraded the kernel to 2.4.20 and it still works great.
That is not helpful, I know, but if there is something I can
check here for you, let me know.
