No sound!

[JDenis_007]

I just installed Gentoo on my Athlon 1800+, and it runs great!!! Fluxbox is sooo fast!
But I have no sound... Does anybody knows how to make an Hercules Game Theater XP work under Gentoo??? It's based on the CS4630 audio chip from Crystal.
I would really like to be able to listen to my mp3s under linux


Thanks!

did you add the cs46xx module when you built the kernel and if so did you remember to add it to /etc/modules.autoload

just a side note..if you want a gui ripping/encoding utility try grip ...if you like command line try abcde...both work really well.

Thanks! it worked!

But the sound volume is extremely low, do you know how I can set it louder??

Personally, I use the sound mixer in gkrellm with blackbox, but that's just me. There are various mixer programs in portage.

look for what ever the mixer is in the windows manager you installed...it should be as simple as adjusting the master volume level

[JDenis_007]

I don't think I have any mixer installed. I just have fluxbox as a wm, and I don't think it comes with one.

Anyway, I emerged kde this morning before going to work, so I'll probably have one installed by the time I get home

No, it doesnt .

KDE does have a mixer, called kmix, but if you have a failed build or don't want to install kde, a cursory look at /usr/portage/media-sound shows some likely candidates for installation:

aumix
gamix
psmix
smixer
wmix

and of course, don't forget the
x11-misc/gkrellm-volume plugin for gkrellm
