1 you can use 'lspci' in shell to know something about your sound card,then http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml has a guide about how to set your hardware and kernel,the information used to make sure the model of your sound card is porvided in 'lspci',look it up clearly
2 if you don't know how to update the kernel,see herehttp://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml
3 My English is not very good, i wish that you can understand
