Hello, thanks for the help, i didn't know i was replying to you directly.
I just emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin, rebooted the computer, but
it didn't worked.
I remember that i got sound working once in a while, however after a
system update, it didn't work it anymore.

Hello,
You replied again to me directly. Reply to the list, so other people
will see your response, and can help.
If Pavucontrol doesn't show any device, then most likely you are
missing drivers for your sound devices, or perhaps your kernel doesn't
support sound at all.
A quick way to (try to) fix the problem would be to use a dist-kernel,
such as sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel (or sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin) to
see whether your issue is in your .config.
If using those kernels fixes the problem, you can use the `lsmod`
command, combined with `lpsci -nnk` to see what drivers are being used
for your devices.
From there, you can fix your .config file and revert back to a custom
kernel.

Julien

Hello,
I installed pavucontrol, however i only get "fake output".
If i use the button "show phisical output devices" it shows "no
devices found".
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Have you tried different devices?
As Mark Knecht suggested, try to install media-sound/pavucontrol; it
is a graphical tool for sound management. Your problem might be as
simple as unmuting the sound from there.
Note: you replied to me directly; please reply to the mailing list
instead, so other people can see your response as well.

Hello,
I tried the troubleshooting section of the gentoo wiki, but it
didn't work, i don't know which info should i give you in order to
help me.
I already put my volume at maximum using the alsamixer tool and
also i unmuted the volume, nothing works.

Hello Guillermo,
Without more information, it's impossible to help you.
I will refer you to the Gentoo Wiki article about Pulseauddio.
Have you followed this?
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PulseAudio
Specifically, check out the troubleshooting section. It contains
useful information for common problems.
Some other common problems are missing drivers in your kernel
.config. Try different devices to see if you manage to have sound
on them. By different devices, I mean different "protocols", such
as a pair of headphones using a Jack plug, a USB sound device, or
HDMI through your monitor, if you have it. If it works on some
devices, then you are definitely missing drivers.
If you still cannot figure it out, feel free to reply to this list
again, but this time try to give us more info, such as what you
tried, perhaps some logs with relevant information.
