Sound Installation Problem

[rovivi]

kernel 2.6.10
sound card: es1968 - Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1978 Maestro 2E

I've been instaled gentoo whit this kernel and followed this tutorial: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/pt_br/alsa-guide.xml
And when I try to start /etc/init.d/alsasound I have this message error:

bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/alsasound start

So, I need some help!

What's you output of the dmesg command??

It looks to me like you might be trying to use modules that weren't compiled for you kernel. Can you provide your kernel version as well??

I've had the same problem today and I solved it thanks to: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-291233-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-proc+asound+cards-start-25.html

Make sure you have your sound card selected as a module in your kernel.
