Fixed the problem. I found the following solution on the gentoo forums. It |
| 28 |
worked for me. I think the problem was with the lack of alsa-oss :-) |

Thans for your help |

1. Use the alsa-driver ebuild instead of the alsa drivers in the kernel. |
| 34 |
Unmerge alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss and any other alsa stuff you have. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
2. Before you emerge alsa-driver, configure your kernel as per the |
| 37 |
instructions on the alsa guide using the method for alsa-driver users i.e. |
| 38 |
JUST sound support and nothing else. Then remove your kernel modules |
| 39 |
directory /lib/modules/whatever-your-kernel-is, rebuild your kernel and |
| 40 |
install it (make clean, make && make modules install, copythe bzImage file |
| 41 |
to /boot or however you choose to e.g. link it for your boot loader). |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
3. Clean up /etc/modules.d/alsa. Well, just delete it, to be honest. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
4. Reboot with your new clean kernel. You'll probably want OSS emulation, so |
| 46 |
before emerge'ing alsa-driver, check your USE flags contain both alsa and oss |
| 47 |
flags. The alsa-driver ebuild will pick up on this. Emerge alsa-driver. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
You should pretty much be back on track with the alsa guide now, just emerge |
| 50 |
alsa-utils (should pull in alsa-lib), and alsa-oss as well. Then run alsaconf |
| 51 |
again. Run alsamixer afterwards. Add alsasound to the boot runlevel (not |
| 52 |
default). Reboot. |
