Right. Looks like there is no sound support in your kernel. We can fix |
| 12 |
that :). There are two options. Recompile your otherwise perfectly good |
| 13 |
kernel and choose the alsa modules you need (can be guess work sometimes :p. |
| 14 |
Or alternatively emerge -avD alsa-drivers, which will have the latest version |
| 15 |
of all the sound support you need. Note that this is equivaslent to a lot of |
| 16 |
the stuff you find in the alsa howto on their site. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I suggest you try the latter and if that works you can unmerge it and fiddle |
| 19 |
around to get the kernel modules correct whenever you feel like it ;). You |
| 20 |
may find the emerge pulls in some other stuff. Just make a note of what it is |
| 21 |
and any instructions that may be given. Since you already have alsasound in |
| 22 |
your runlevel then that done. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Go to /etc/modules.d and edit the file alsa. Once youve finished it should |
| 25 |
look something like the following. The <<< are my addition. Look at them :) |
