Re: [gentoo-user] speakers have no sound in Gentoo, but work in Ubuntu

[Brian Johnson]

Almost all snd-hda-intel sound cards need quirks added to
/etc/modules.d/alsa

Under the auto-generated configuration add:

options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack

Once that is done, save the file and run:

update-modules

Once that has completed (you may need to update-modules --force if it
complains). Simply reboot the computer or restart the alsasound service.
Note, some programs/applets using ALSA may crash if you unload/reload the
sound card.
