Re: [gentoo-user] ALSA: All modules loaded, mixer unmuted, still no sound
Hello, Here are some more interesting output from dmesg while I was trying to play a sound file. PCI: Setting latency timer of device :00:1e.2 to 64 intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 50457 usecs intel8x0: clocking to 48000 ACPI: PCI interrupt for device :00:1e.2 disabled ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:1e.2[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 Thanks.

Re: [gentoo-user] ALSA: All modules loaded, mixer unmuted, still no sound
Hello, I've removed kernel support for ALSA and using alsa-driver instead. Still no luck and same error. And I still don't have /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc. Is that a problem? Thanks.

Hello, I've played through mplayer as well. While mplayer plays through the file, I can hear no sound. mpg321 plays the files too except that it shows some errors at first.
