Yes, it's working for me too on my other gentoo box. But i read this after building alsa-lib: * Please try in-kernel ALSA drivers instead of the alsa-drivers ebuild. * If alsa-drivers works for you where a recent kernel does not, we want * to know about this. Our e-mail address is alsa-bugs@gentoo.org * However, if you notice no sound output or instability, please try to * upgrade your kernel to a newer version first. and this makes me think i should get rid of those packages as it say "instead". Is this wrong? do we still need alsa-lib and co.?
