You... assume..... sigh. Don't assume, *check*. I'm sure ALSA is compiled into the kernel already, but is support for your card? If you do a make menuconfig (or just read the .config file either in /usr/src/linux or /boot, is the driver for your card listed with either a * (or YES, if looking at the text file), or an m, or is it blank? Have you tried to modprobe the driver? What happens when you do? Is snd-ens1371 listed in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 ? Is alsasound running (probably not)? Is alsasound set in rc-update? Have you correctly configured /etc/conf.d/alsa to reflect the correct drivers? HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
