 |
|
Hi I have just installed gentoo on my pentium4 2.8Ghz, I have a VIA AC97 audio controller. I have emerged alsa and alsa-utils. I have set:
| Code: |
rc-update add alsasound boot
|
And I can restart alsasound without any errors. But when I try to run alsaconf it can't find my soundcard, and I really don't know what to do :S
Any help will really be appreciated

What happens if you just skip alsaconf, unmute the soundcard, and save the mixer settings ?
| Code: | # alsamixer
# /etc/init.d/alsasound save |

Thx for the answare 
But unfortunately there's still no sound 
If it can help cat /etc/modules.d/alsa gives:
| Code: |
# Alsa kernel modules' configuration file.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.
##
## ALSA portion
## alias snd-card-0 snd-interwave
## alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1371
## OSS/Free portion
## alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
## alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
##
# OSS/Free portion - card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
## OSS/Free portion - card #2
## alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
## alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
## alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
options snd cards_limit=1

Did you set the sound card driver up as a module or did you compile it directly into the kernel. If the latter, you need to recompile your sound card driver as a module and try again.
Blessed be!

My sound works nice and perfect now
The problem as you mention was that I have compiled my soundcard into the kernel instead as a module. But I had tried this before, and couldn't get it working. Shame to me because  this was, due to that I had forgot to run:
| Code: |
make modules_install
|
Thanks for the help everyone
So I consider this tread as closed |
