Hello List,
I was getting fed up with the bloat and maintenance headaches with my setup,
which used the kde desktop profile and emerge kde-meta.
So I formatted the root partition and installed from scratch. This time I
kept the standard profile and only emerged the packages I wanted. I kept the
kernel config (2.6.39-r3), so all the modules should be present as before. I
have ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" in make.conf.
But I have no sound! KDE tells me the hardware doesn't work, and alsaconf
says it can't detect any PCI hardware. Lspci -k shows snd-hda-intel module
loaded though, so I can't see what's missing.
Any clues, anyone?

Does alsa-info give any useful messages? How about dmesg or syslog? Did you
keep any of the useflags from your old make.conf?

When I go into "make menuconfig"
Device Drivers --->
<*> Sound card support --->
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
[*] PCI sound devices --->
<*> Intel HD Audio --->
I get a list of sub modules. Here's what I've selected...
--- Intel HD Audio
[*] Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver
[ ] Allow dynamic codec reconfiguration (EXPERIMENTAL)
[ ] Support digital beep via input layer
[ ] Support jack plugging notification via input layer
[ ] Support initialization patch loading for HD-audio
[*] Build Realtek HD-audio codec support
[*] Build Analog Device HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build IDT/Sigmatel HD-audio codec support
[*] Build VIA HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build HDMI/DisplayPort HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build Cirrus Logic codec support
[ ] Build Conexant HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build Creative CA0110-IBG codec support
[ ] Build C-Media HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build Silicon Labs 3054 HD-modem codec support
[*] Enable generic HD-audio codec parser
[ ] Aggressive power-saving on HD-audio
Your selections will depend on your card. Can you post the output for
your sound card from "lspci -v"? If you have an HDMI output, you may
see 2 audio stanzas in "lspci -v". List them both just to be sure.

An encyclopaedia-full of info, among which I see "No sound servers found".
> How about dmesg or syslog?
Dmsg shows the hardware being set up OK; syslog nothing.

No; that was the point, or part of it. I decided to remove all USE flags
except hardware ones, then add back in any that turned out to be needed.
Looks like you've spotted the one I need - thanks. I don't know why I didn't
think of that - so easy with hindsight.
I've added USE=alsa and I'm remerging world now. Let's hope I'll be able to
listen to my favourite BBC Radio 3 soon!

Now playing happily, though the BBC do still insist on Flash.
Thanks for your help. So simple...
