 |
|
hi quit new to gentoo and have installed
the 2.6.11 kernel with alsa support
other distro seem to have no problem activating the sound card so my guess is something is badly configured
i have unmuted everything
but in my mixer utility i have 2 tabs 1 with C-Media electronics cmi9761 [OSS Mixer]
and 1 with VIA 8235 [ALSA MIXER]
in the alsa tab i don't have the option to change the master volume or the PCM
i can only unmute them (wich dousn't change the sound problem)
when i boot i get the message that my sound card is activate or that the drivers(via82xx) are loaded
what more can i do to get some noise here HEEEELP 
anyone some idees |

Last time I did an install, I didn't get sound until I ran the mixer and unmuted the CD and PM2 columns.
This time I still don't have sound as I seem to have no drivers, even though I am sure I compiled the AC'97 into the kernel.
I hope this helps you. |

Make sure you have the necessary drivers loaded.
First, what's your sound card?
| Code: | | # lspci | grep audio |
That will show you your soundcard info
Second, are the drivers loaded? If they are modules, you can check
That will list out what modules are loaded at the moment. If they're not loaded and you didn't compile the drivers into the kernel, we'll have to do a few things like load the modules and test them. If they work, we'll put them in /etc/modules.autoload/linux-2.6 so that they load up on boot.
Try that for starters.
