 |
|
Hi,
I'm attempting to emerge kdebase. I'm using the 2.6 kernel with the alsa drivers built in to my kernel. Do I need to still add the alsa flag in USE?

| no it will automatically skip over it since 2.6 supports built in alsa |

Yeah, you should.
Have
| Code: | | USE="alsa blah blah" |
then do an
| Code: | | emerge -i alsa-driver && emerge alsa-util |

So wait, the steps are:
1) Make sure USE="alsa"
2) emerge -i alsa-driver && emerge -i alsa-util
3) emerge kde
I ask because I did something similar and alsa still does not work with kde & test5 |

This should be:
| Code: |
# emerge -i alsa-driver && emerge alsa-util
|
like Roguelazer said. You don't want to emerge alsa-driver as it is already in your kernel, but you still need alsa utils so dont inject that.
As for why it does not work, do you get any error messages? Also, ALSA mutes sound by default so watch out. alsa-utils should set up a script that saves and restores your volumes. |

OK, so I did that, or something similar, and now arts recognizes ALSA...but when I play something, nothing comes out!
I tried unmuting and setting levels with alsamixer and all that, but still no result....
I have tried using alsaplayer and mplayer, both say they are output-ing to ALSA 0.9.x and act like they are playing!? |
