| I am using onboard AC '97 sound. I do believe it was detected by the livecd when booted. I used genkernel to compile my kernel. There is no sound. Does anyone know what the problem is? |

Are you using a 2.6 kernel? If so, it is best to use alsa. Genkernel compiles the needed parts into your kernel.
You can then just follow this guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
Take a look around these docs, as there is more info for getting a just installed system more 'complete'. |

Adding yourself to the "audio" group might fix that... Use the usermod programme as root:
| Code: | | usermod -G <all groups you want to be part of... should definitely include wheel> <username> |
Type groups at the command line (as your normal user) to see which groups you're part of at the moment.

| Ok so I followed that guide and there is still no sound, although the error is gone. Could this be because I never compiled kde with the alsa flag set? |

Is there sound without kde? Also, did you unmute your card with kmix?

how would I test if there is sound without kde?
and the card is not muted by kmix.
edit: I was just playing KAstroids and there was sound when I crashed my ship.
But there is no sound when I play a cd.
Also, I can rip the songs from the cd to my hard drive and listen to them. |

Exit kde, go to the console, then try playing a .wav file with aplay.

That could be for a variety of reasons. What program are you using?

To read files on a cdrom it needs to be mounted.
| Quote: |
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
|
But that shouldn't affect playing audio cds.

Are you sure this is by file systems? Doesn't it say iso9660 somewhere on that line? Maybe your fstab is a little messed up. |

Try to mount it from the command line...
...and see if you can browse the files.

nope can't mount it.
| Code: | mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0,
or too many mounted file systems |

Hmm, there could be two things here :
- Unless iso9960 was typo when you posted thst part from your fstab file, it should be iso9660.
- You can't mount audio cds, only data cds
