My sound has just recently stopped working. I have no idea what is wrong with it or even where to look. My computer is running gentoo x86.
After I reboot sound will work for maybe 30 seconds and then stop.
I have been testing this with out X running so there are less things running that could cause problems.
Also mplayer kinda freezes after the sound has stopped doesn't move forward in the track it is playing.
I really hope that someone can help as this is a big problem for me.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
here is the most up to date alsa guide:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Compile_Kernel_with_ALSA
note that are 2 other guides in the wiki which take different approaches.
this should help you trouble shoot

Okay I have tried recompiling my kernel, and the sound worked for a couple of hours before it gave out this time. I really wish I knew what was going on. I'm going to look more closely at the ALSA guides and try again.

I know what you are going thru.
check dmesg for clues.
Make sure you are runnng a stable system with the good use flags like alsa.
Code:
revdep-rebuild -X

check lspci again and see if you are using the correct kernel module.
Check that the KDE sound system is set to ALSA.
