1 Hello,
2
3 The sound card works fine with Ubuntu in my other partition. I've
4 followed Gentoo's Alsa Guide and currently with kernel modules. But no
5 sound comes out when I play music or any other things.

7 The 'lspci' for my card is:

58 When I play an mp3 file with mpg321, the first two lines show:
59 ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:900: (snd_pcm_direct_initialize_slave) unable to
60 install hw params

63 There's no sound when #cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp

75 I've searched in forums, and haven't found any solution yet. All
76 channels are unmuted and set to full. I hope some could help me out.

78 Thanks,
