25 I fixed my ALSA problem. I booted off the 2005.0 LiveCD and rebuilt my
26 kernel with genkernel (based off the LiveCD's config), then rebooted
27 with the new kernel and emerged alsa-driver. alsamixer worked fine and
28 I got my card unmuted. A funny thing about it is that although sound
29 was playing I couldn't hear it through my speakers until I unplugged the
30 speakers from the back of the computer and plugged them back into the
31 headphone jack in the front. Go figure...
