Re: [gentoo-user] Strange ALSA issue

Hi,

I'm certainly not an authority here, but I suffered some minor pains
getting alsa to work after upgrading gcc.  I referred to the Alsa Gentoo
Linux Guide.

>From this, it looks like you are trying to install alsa-driver and
according to the guide, if you install the driver, you do not compile
alsa with the kernel.  At least that's what worked for me.

I selected to compile sound into the kernel and then emerged alsa driver
and followed the remaining steps in the Guide and alsa works fine.

HTH.
