Gentoo's alsa-guide.xml is outdated and is incorrectly suggesting the |
5 |
use of alsaconf |

|

When in reality alsaconf doesn't work at all with sys-apps/kmod because |
8 |
it doesn't generate 'modules.pcimap' and 'modules.usbmap' files anymore |

|

And in version 1.0.27 of alsa-utils in ~arch the command is no longer |
11 |
being installed |

So whatever you do, forget about `alsaconf` right from the start, since |
14 |
it's no longer required with modern PCI, USB, ... cards because |
15 |
sys-fs/udev automatically loads the required drivers |
16 |
The `alsaconf` command has been useful only for old PCMCIA and ISA cards |
17 |
for years already |

Instead you don't do anything else than unmute the mixers using |
20 |
alsamixer, and leave the module loading to udev |
21 |
|
22 |
As in, edit/write /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf by hand only if you need to |
23 |
pass some options to the modules |
