Hi,

2

3

 recently I did a "emerge -e system; emerge -e world".

4

5

 Apart from some applications, which dont want to compile with

6

 the new system -- now based on gcc-4.1.1 -- everything works fine.

7

8

 (Before emergeing I did a full image backup of the "old" system on

9

 another harddisk of the same model (dd ...).  )

10

11

 But I have no sound anymore...

12

13

 I checked for the follwing:

14

 PC-BIOS: Onboard sound is enabled.

15

 diffing old and new etc: Inserting alsa devices again with

16

 /etc/modules.d/alsa

17

 Volume is up (alsamixer and speakers)

18

 Speakers have power and ready to play.

19

 Plug is connected to the correct "outlet" (weong word?...sorry I am

20

                                            only german...)

 Apps, which need output of sound (kaffeine, mplayer...) seem not to

128

 miss anything (no "Permission denied" or "/dev/* : No such device).

129

 and act normally -- with no sound at all.

130

131

 I am a little desperate here, since I simply do not see, what is

132

 going wrong.

133

134

 Any help to solve the riddle is very appreciated.

135

 Thank you *very* much.

 Keep hacking!
