To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-Archives-Salt: 4a6dfd6e-727a-4d54-960c-4b5001db094f X-Archives-Hash: 01633620725fc986179a3f4991a2a670 Hi, I finally got the base install of Gentoo done, but I've come across a really interesting probleing. After installing Alsa and enabling its daemon, I had copied the asound.conf from the distro I was using on to the system. Unfortunately, this give the side effect that ALSA is extremely loud (I would guess top volume), and none of the sliders seem to work. I am using my Intel high definition audio card. Has anyone come across a similar issue? If so, how did you go about fixing it?
