Hello,

You replied again to me directly. Reply to the list, so other people 
will see your response, and can help.

If Pavucontrol doesn't show any device, then most likely you are missing 
drivers for your sound devices, or perhaps your kernel doesn't support 
sound at all.

A quick way to (try to) fix the problem would be to use a dist-kernel, 
such as sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel (or sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin) to 
see whether your issue is in your .config.
If using those kernels fixes the problem, you can use the `lsmod` 
command, combined with `lpsci -nnk` to see what drivers are being used 
for your devices.

 From there, you can fix your .config file and revert back to a custom 
kernel.

Regards,
Julien
