[wplug] sound card whoas

[Hoss]

Hello everybody,

I just installed Slackware 8.1 on my computer, and I can't get my sound
card to work no matter what I try. Whenever I start xwindows (dropline
gnome 2.20) it just says cannot open device /dev/mixer. The sound card I'm
trying to use is a Creative Audio PCI ES1370 SB PCI 64/128. Anyone have
anything they'd recommend trying? I'm relatively new to linux in general,
but in my prior usage (mandrake) it worked after the install, so I didn't
really have to do anything specific to get it working, that's why I'm
stumped. I've searched google, but couldn't find any info that was that
good. Thanks for any help.
