I Can't get any sound to come out of my laptop.

It's a HP Omnibook 4150.
I'm running Gentoo 2.6.12

Did you specify your card in your make.conf?
i.e:
Code:

ALSA_CARDS="nm256"


If not you need to specify it, and recompile alsa. Check for your card on the supported cards list on alsa.

thanks for the reply, sadly I've messed the computer up even worse now. It get's to the lilo boot screen and then hangs. So I have to sort that out first.
