I won't, you can't know everyone and I am not *that* regular a participant |
| 15 |
in the list. However, I've been a Gentoo guy for 8 years now and I should |
| 16 |
know the basics by now ;-) (although I had my share of cases of negligence). |

It has been in the default runlevel for a number of days now. The service is |
| 21 |
also running right now. |

*That* is what I was looking for. My intertubes search also guided me to |
| 33 |
.asoundrc, but I had something different in it: |
| 34 |
pcm.!default { |
| 35 |
slave.pcm "pch:1,0" |
| 36 |
} |
| 37 |
Which didn't work. |

When I edited .asoundrc as you suggested and it worked right away, I was |
| 41 |
baffled. So I reverted the change and checked again -- still working. |
| 42 |
Somehow, like other issues I had in the past, it “solved itself”, because |
| 43 |
now aplay -L does give me a "default" device. |

Yesterday, when I tried your kernel settings, rebuilt and rebooted, it did |
| 46 |
not help. Unfortunately I didn't keep my old kernel config; I was unable to |
| 47 |
reproduce my problem by reverting my config from memory. So this is another |
| 48 |
one for the big book of mysteries, never to be remembered again. :-/ |

Thanks for your time. |
