Can anyone suggest why my sound doesn't work or where to look for
further clues?
I've built a gentoo box from older parts to learn with. I wanted just
command line stuff to study servers like apache, proftp, samba, etc.
so no gui. I remembered there's a sound card in the system and I
can't figure out how to make it work. I enabled sound support and the
soundcore.o and driver are built into the kernel (rather than as
modules). See snippet below from .conf file.
I believe for alsa you DO NOT build the sound drivers in the kernel,
they should be modules that Alsa builds you when you install Alsa. I
quit using alsa a while back though, the struggle was more than it was
worth, sometimes.
I would recommend that you look at the part of the Alsa install
directions concerning kernel/module requirements.
