[gentoo-amd64] no sound

[Mark Creamer]

I have one other issue with my newly built system - I don't have sound 
yet. The card is a SB Live EMU10K1. I have it enable in the kernel. 
First I enabled it only in ALSA. Then when that didn't work, I also 
enabled it in OSS. But I don't know what I'm doing there. Should I be 
doing both?

Anyway, from Control Center, when I click on sound & multimedia/sound 
system, I get the message "Unable to start the sound server to retrieve 
possible sound I/O methods."

The sound card is not set to load as module, I have it compiled into the 
kernel.

Thanks!
Mark

:)

you can enable the driver either under alsa in teh kernel, or by 
emerging alsa-driver.

then you need alsa-utils

and run alsaconf

add alsasound to the boot runlevel

and you should be good to go

-c

Man...I really should have seen that. Thanks Chris. I'll dig more first 
next time!

and most important - after you do that, you need to run alsamixer, and on all 
channels click 'm' to unmute them, and use up arrow key to take the volume 
up. otherwise you'll hear nothing.

alsaconf should take care of this these days, but if you hear nothing
then you will need to do as shimi suggests.
or run
amixer set Master 100 unmute
amixer set PCM 100 unmute
