5 environment as in desktop environment (kde, gnome, something else...),
6 mainly so others can see if you are using a mixer that plays nicely
7 with other stuff you have running
8
9 drivers as in which drivers is your kernel using to address the audio
10 hardware. It sometimes is useful to note if they are modules or
11 compiled-in, but don't omit one class

13 Your original question is not really answerable due to lack of data, you
14 have basically asked one of those "how long is a bit of string?"
15 questions. Are you new to gentoo? If so, it's good to say so. Then
