List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: 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.
