I had that problem, I still get no soundcards found but got around it by emerging alsa-utils and adding alsasound boot
| Code: |
emerge alsa-utils
rc-update add alsasound boot
|
There are a few threads around on alsa and the 2.6 kernels. |

OK, thanks...but what exactly do I need to edit in the file?
I changed snd_card_0 (not exact) alias to emu10k1...is that what I needed?

Did you compile the drivers into your kernel, or as modules? I believe those scripts depend on it being a module to load it if you specify it as a module in its config files. I haven't tried doing it by building them into the kernel.

It looks like you have ALSA and the OSS emu10k1 drivers getting loaded. That won't work. Make sure the emu10k1.o module isn't getting loaded, or isn't compiled into your kernel. |

I admit to being dumb as a rock about this stuff. So, I take it that it's one or the other?
If so, is there a good (meaning easy) text file on the why one is better over the other?
And BTW, thanks...

I can't think of any good 'what is better for sound' guides off the top of my head, sorry.
First though, what kernel version are you running? |

hmm.. dunno if you're still working on this or not...
and i've only barely skimmed your many posts but i'll throw this out there.
i noticed your IRQ was 18 for your sound card. That most likely means you are using APIC (advanced programmable interrupt controller? did i get that right guys?)
now APIC is fine normally and lets you have strange IRQs like 18 or sometimes just makes everything share 11 or something.. but I have a fairly new Shuttle SS40G running gentoo and when i first installed it I could get network from the liveCD but nothing from my kernel. The IRQ was also an unusual number. Someone on IRC finally told me to turn off APIC option in my kernel config. I believe its under the CPU section. They said that while APIC is generally a good thing many BIOS's dont implement it properly or are buggy.
Well.. long story short, i turned off APIC and the NIC grabbed a more normal IRQ and it has worked ever since.
good luck 
p.s. sorryif anything i said was retarded or already tried but i really did barely skim this thread.. but thought i'd post this suggestion anyway...
