[gentoo-user] sound driver

[James <wireless@tampabay.rr.com>]

Hello,

I've got a clevo portable runing a 2.6.9-r4 kernel. Upon boot, I get this
popup (kde) message:

X Informational - artsmessage 

Source server information message:
Error while initialzing the sound driver:
Device: default can be opened for playback (no such file or directory)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.


What did I miss, in the kernel? something in kde configs/desktop setting?

Alsa, Jack and a host of audio software is installed but nothing works. I
can get kscd to play a cd, it reads the name of the song, says it's at 
40% percent volume, but no sound. I'm not certain I've activated everything
in the kernel.

lspci -v shows:

0000:00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound
Controller (rev a0)
        Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer: Unknown device 0402
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 173, IRQ 5
        I/O ports at 1c00
        I/O ports at 1800 [size=128]
        Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2


Any ideas are most welcome.....

James
