hello, i've just installed gentoo (gentoo-dev-sources) on to my x31 laptop and am trying to get sound to work. has anyone been successful in doing so? i've tried following some online docs (http://dev.gentoo.org/~brix/papers/X31/X31.html#sect-kernel-sound) to get alsa working.

running 'make menuconfig' in /usr/src/linux, i've added the specified moduels (all execpt for RTC Timer support, and Sound car d support. These two i couldnt find). updated /etc/modules.conf & /etc/modules.autoload.d/alsa with the lines that the guide specified in figure 7. also emerged the alsa-utils successfully.

here's lsmod:

did you have the same effect as root user? could it be a group problem?
if not, i had the same problem with an intel8x0 sound module - in my case is a ibm r51. in a first try, i compiled as builtin in the kernel. didn't work.
after that as module loading with the alsa tools and the correct setup in /etc/blah/blah..
runs smooth now.

cheers

I was having similar problems recently.

Mine was modules in /etc/modules.d/alsa

The fix is here:
