Hello,

Let me attempt to answer it with another question: If you don't use the alsa drivers, what drivers are you going to use? Also if you use the alsa drivers in the kernel soundkart should come with it.

Code:
-> Device Drivers
    -> Sound                                   
        -> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
            -> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (SND [=y])
                -> PCI devices
                    [ ] VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller
                    [ ] VIA 82C686A/B, 8233 based Modems 


Should be one of those two options

no ... in gnome i can't use my sounddevice, i put exaktly the driver in the kernel as you say.
under bash, everything works fine ( alsamixer works )
but under gnome my sounkarte wound work ?

what i am doing wrong ?


if i run emerge alsa-driver i get

!!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.11 failed.
Call stack:
ebuild.sh, line 1539: Called dyn_compile
ebuild.sh, line 939: Called src_compile
alsa-driver-1.0.11.ebuild, line 109: Called die

!!! Make Failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
