 |

| I can't get ALSA to work properly in my gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.5) kernel. I have a sb live! value card and I've enabled both support for emu10k1 and my via south bridge chip in the sound driver settings but no drivers found is reported at boot. |

try out the alsa-guide @ gentoo.org - there´s all info you´ll need.
For me, it sounds like you didn´t emerge alsa-driver etc. |

| I've already read the guide. And on the 2.6 kernel you shouldn't have to emerge the driver (although I tried and got error message, only for 2.4). That's why I mentioned I use 2.6. The emu10k1 driver is in the kernel. |

I have a SB Live!, ALSA and kernel 2.6.5 on one machine. I use ALSA and emu10k driver build into kernel. Works nice. Maybe you forgot to enable the emu10k driver in the kernel.
You should post the relevant parts of your .config and dmesg. |

| I do that when I get home. I know where the .config is, where do I find dmesg? |

I took this directly from "make menuconfig" as it might be easier to read:
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
Sound --->
<*> Sound card support
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<*> Sequencer support
<*> OSS Mixer API
<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*] OSS Sequencer API
PCI devices --->
<*> EMU10K1 (SB Live! & Audigy) (I have a SB Live! Value)
<*> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233 South Bridgey, E-mu APS) (I have a VIA VT82C686B south bridge)
|
From "dmesg"
| Code: |
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.4rc2 (Tue Mar 30 08:19:30 2004 UTC).
ALSA device list:
No soundcards found.
|
From boot:
| Code: |
Loading ALSA drivers...
Using ALSA OSS emulation
Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers.
Unable to find any ALSA drivers.Have you compiled alsa-drivers correctly?
Loading: snd-seq
FATAL: Module snd-seq not found.

Please post the output of `lspci -v`. It will report what hardware it finds on the PCI bus. |
