I'm still working to get my recently reinstalled Gentoo system up to its former glory. I cannot get my sound to work though. I'm following (or rather trying to) the Gentoo Alsa Guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml) . It says to run lspci to find out what sound card I'm using:
baby ~ # lspci -v | grep -i audio 0000:00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 04) I looked at the Alsa Matrix and the only entry it has for Ensoniq is ens1371 (which, according to my backups is what I was using before and it worked fine then). I'm using a genkernel, 2.6 kernel, so I assume that ALSA is compiled into it already. However, when I run alsaconf it finds no cards whatsoever. This all worked before I reinstalled Gentoo and although I have a complete backup of my /etc directory before the reinstall I hesitate to use it (bad experiences in the past) and prefer to use it instead as a guide. What am I doing wrong? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
