| Are the alsa drivers installed in kernel static, as kernel as module or the seperate alsa driver? |

Did you run an emerge alsa-driver?
If not I would reccomend you would do the following
Go into /usr/src/linux
Type make menuconfig
Go to Device Drivers
Go to Sound
See if Alsa is checked, if yes go into the sub-menu if no, check it and go into the sub-menu.
Select the sound-driver corresponding to your soundcard and make sure it's a * and not a M (thats the easiest way for new users).
Re-compile the kernel, copy it over to your boot partition and reboot. |

I followed the guide of carlito's post: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mixer_aka_dmix
I went to the manuconfig, added the Modules and recompiled (using make), then rebooted and nothing happens, I get the same error at startx.
The only I can see is that when I went to the PCI - Devices I did not find exactly the mine> Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1988 Allegro-1 (rev 12)
I have put the M to all that could be like:
[M] ESS ES1938/1946/1969 (Solo - 1)
then the "M" to: ESS ES 1968/1978 (Maestro -1/2/2E/
and to: ESS Allegro / Maestro 3
I dont know i thats the problem I have put the "M" to all of them.
As I told you the problem is the same, the same dialog when I startx.
Then I emerged alsa-utils, when I run alsaconf I get the message:
| Code: | | No supported PnP or PCI Card found |
When I run
lspci -v | grep -i audio
I get the output:
0000:01:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1988 Allegro-1 (rev 12)
Thanks to any help

"ESS Allegro/Maestro3" should be the correct driver.
Did you execute "make modules_install" in /usr/src/linux after you "put the M" to the driver?
You should make yourself familliar with compiling a kernel and installing drivers. This is a nice tutorial:

Ok I "put the M", then
make modules_install.
But i get the same error.
Dont know if I should first run
"make", then "make modules_instal" and the copy what I have compiled to the "boot partition" (acording to the reply above), please let me know if thats what I should do.
---------------
Well, at boot, I get:
"autoloaded 1 module" (this is the one for the network card") should the sound card module be loaded at boot??
-------------------
Dont know but, according to the esd output, appears the ALSA to be there, but appears something is not working correctly. In another board a guy had the same problem and solved it adding the user to a group. Well when I loging (at boot) I use the root user and password. I think thats not the problem because when I run:
| Code: | localhost ~ # groups root
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel floppy audio dialout tape video usb scanner |
what do you think?
Please your help reply is welcome.
Thanks

Thanks to all
