Hi all,

I have been running OSS since years, but now I want to try ALSA, because I
want to use my microphone for skype.

So I followed the Gentoo ALSA guide, but unfortunately w/o success Sad
First, I looked for my sound card. It's a SB Live!, so I added

ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1"

to my /etc/make.conf file. Then I merged alsa-driver, alsa-oss and 
alsa-utils. Then, I added these lines to my /etc/modules.d/alsa file:

alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0

and run update-modules afterwards. But now I get this error:

 * Loading ALSA modules...
 *   Loading: snd-card-0...
 * ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers
 * Restoring Mixer Levels...
 * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!

Where do I have to look for the problem? I compiled sound support into my
kernel and activated emu10k1 as module (but I tried without that as well).

Maybe you guys have any ideas?
Greetings and TIA, Matthias
