Gentoo's alsa-guide.xml is outdated and is incorrectly suggesting the |
| 5 |
use of alsaconf |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
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 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
And in version 1.0.27 of alsa-utils in ~arch the command is no longer |
| 11 |
being installed |
| 12 |
|

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 |
