So basically... I have no idea why it refuses to work...

Code:
# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
 * Loading ALSA modules ...
 *   Loading: snd-card-0 ...                                              [ ok ]
 *   Loading: snd-pcm-oss ...                                             [ ok ]
 *   Loading: snd-seq ...                                                 [ ok ]
 * Restoring Mixer Levels ...
 * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!    [ ok ]


Code:
# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device


Code:
# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [SI7012         ]: ICH - SiS SI7012
                      SiS SI7012 with ALC203 at 0x1400, irq 18


Code:
cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.13 (Tue Nov 28 14:07:24 2006 UTC).


Code:
# lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq                49616  0
snd_seq_device          6796  1 snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            22944  0
snd_mixer_oss          14976  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_intel8x0           28572  0
snd_ac97_codec         95648  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_bus            2432  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm                62468  3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer              18692  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    45156  8 snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               6368  1 snd
snd_page_alloc          8200  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm


Kernel:
Code:
# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SND
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=m
CONFIG_SND_AC97_BUS=m
CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=m
# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SOUND
CONFIG_SOUND=m


make.conf (yes, alsa USE flag is set)
Code:
# cat /etc/make.conf | grep ALSA
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"


This is a fresh install that has never even smelled media-sound/alsa-driver much less being humped by it... so I'm utterly confused on why this refuses to work. It works on the LiveCD.

what does dmesg say? does it have anything interesting in it? if not, try using alsa driver instead. If you are using alsa driver... why do you have it in the kernel as well? that's bound to cause some mistakes. Try recompiling everything alsa-related.

Code:
# dmesg | grep 8x0
intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 55393 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 48000


and...

Meaning I never compiled it. Mainly cos the same kernel (and the exact same sound config) drivers work perfectly on another box withe the same card. /etc/modules.d/alsa is the same too...

What I meant was "try alsa-drivers" from portage.

Going through the ALSA Wiki... seems like I'm missing /dev/snd . Now how to make and populate that?

*edit* problems were caused by udev refusting to start at boot... which we found out after quite some error proofing on IRC. A quick reemerge of baselayout fixed things.
