Having trouble with sound?

[Zane217]

Yes I am having trouble with sound.
everything seems to go O.k. but i get no sound.
I am using Genkernel 2.4.25 at this time and went through the Alsa guide.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml

the following is what i did with output when needed

#grep -i audio /proc/pci
-> Ensoniq ES1371 [Audio PCi -97] (rev

#nano -w /etc/make.conf added lines
USE=" alsa oss kde qt -gnome -gtk"
ALSA_CARDS="ens1371"

#emerge alsa-driver
#emerge alsa-oss
#emerge alsa-utils

all emerge seem to go o.k.

#nano -w /etc/modules.d/alsa added lines
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss

If I have a mistake it is probably in here, there are other lines used by default. I will post the the entire config file when i get a chance, also i am not sure what the 0 is for, by default the lines had a 1 in them like alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1

#modules-update
-> depmod:*** unresolved symboles in /lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/scsi_sil.0
-> depmod:*** unresolved symboles in /lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/scsi_svw.0
-> depmod:*** unresolved symboles in /lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/scsi_via.0

#nano -w /etc/devfsd.conf
looks the same as the alsa guide

#rc-update add alsasound boot
#/etc/init.d/alsasound start
#amixer
-> lots of output

On a reboot after *starting pci hotplugging several lines of
cant load module es1371 missing kernel or user mode driver es1371

Like i said everything installed ok, it might be important to know that this computer had sound trouble under windows, sometimes it would work sometimes it would not. so there might be a hardware problem.
thansk for any help.
