[gentoo-user] My Continuing ALSA Woes

[Michael Sullivan]

I still cannot get my sound card to work!  Here is the evidence I've
been able to collect:

camille linux # lspci -v | grep -i audio
0000:00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6
Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)


I've added it to my /etc/make.conf:

camille linux # cat /etc/make.conf | grep 'ALSA_CARDS'
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"


Support for the snd-hda-intel (my card) has been compiled into the
kernel:

camille linux # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep 'HDA'
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m

I rebuilt the kernel.

I've added the card infomation to /etc/modules.d/alsa:

# Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
#
$Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsa-modules.conf-rc,v 1.4 2004/11/16 01:31:22 eradicator Exp $

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore

##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.

# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1

And run modules-update:

camille linux # modules-update
camille linux #

I rebooted the computer.  

I attempted to start /etc/init.d/alsasound:

camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
 * Loading ALSA modules ...
 *   Loading: snd-card-0 ...

I'm at a loss as for what to do next.  Can anyone help me with this?
