Jump to PostWhat sound card do you have? You'll need to find out what sound card you have and what module it will need to run.
Then go into /etc/modules.conf and uncomment the line for your sound module. Reboot and everything should be nice sounding :)

Do you get any error messages when you try to play media with any of those players?

You can also try (as root):
# chmod 755 /dev/dsp

The OP never said anything at all about iTunes or Mac - they're using Slackware Linux. While the information you posted might be useful, it had nothing to do with the original question.
