YOU ARE GREAT!!! I have too Gentoos, "stable" and "testing". I had only vmplayer installed in "stable" (the virtual machine is in another partition). So I have: a) emerged alsa-oss b) emerged emul-linux-x86-soundlibs c) "chmod"ed and "ln -s"ed as you have advised and sound is working now both as root and as normal user! Thanks! If you have some spare time, I'ld like to understand why the symbolic link in /usr/lib32 is needed (and why your solution works on my system and not on yours....). But don't bother. I can imagine that you have something better to do ;-) Tanks again Sergio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
