At least you are past the kernel part and know the hardware should be |
91 |
working. I had to install alsamixergui to unmute mine. Since I have a |
92 |
somewhat bloated install, I'm not sure how you would unmute yours. You |
93 |
may have to install some kind of alsa to do that. I'm not really sure |
94 |
in this situation. |
95 |

Here is a link about alsa: |

I read in there that cards are muted by default. It says it this way: |
101 |
"Now adjust your soundcard's volume levels. All mixer channels are muted |
102 |
by default. You must use a native mixer program to unmute appropriate |
103 |
channels, for example alsamixer from the alsa-utils package." I would |
104 |
do a emerge -p alsa-utils and just see if it is going to try to install |
105 |
the kitchen sink or just it and perhaps a couple others that you can |
106 |
live with. |

That help? |
