You should check the ALSA Guide from the Gentoo Docs and see if you |
| 110 |
performed all steps, specially your kernel config. I have this same |
| 111 |
MOBO, so I can assure you, it works... Just follow the guide. |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
I had KDE working with ALSA, but strangely, the "Test" button at KDE |
| 114 |
config don't work, all other apps does using arts. |
