1. I am using a self-configured kernel (I have been doing this since I |
11 |
installed Gentoo two years ago) |
12 |
|
13 |
2. My sound card is an Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset |
14 |
Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) |
15 |
|

3. I am using the driver CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL |

4. I have not tried enabling all intel codec in the kernel, but I will. |

While gathering the answers to your questions, I discovered something |
23 |
interesting: |
24 |
|
25 |
5. /etc/init.d/alsasound was not running |
26 |
|
27 |
6. Eventhough /etc/init.d/alsasound was not running, I am getting |
28 |
audio (just crappy audio) |
29 |
|
30 |
7. Eventhough /etc/init.d/alsasound is listed as an rc-update boot |
31 |
service, it still wasn't running |
32 |
|
33 |
8. While /etc/init.d/alsasound was not running, alsamixer still works |
34 |
|
35 |
9. If I execute "/etc/init.d/alsasound start", alsasound will start. |
36 |
Sound quality improves but still has low quality. |

Can anyone explain 6, 7, or 8? |
