no sound Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM...

[Squinky86]

I've been browsing these forums and googling all day for someone who has gotten sound working on their ASUS P4T-E mobo. The motherboard has built in sound identified by lspci as "00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev 04)". Before, KDE would come up saying "Sound Server Fatal Error: CPU overloading, aborting". Now I do not get such an error, but I still have no sound.
I installed ALSA and the alsa-xmms package. Any program using ALSA will now act like it's playing, but still no sound. (yes, volume is set, unmuted, etc.). Does anyone with a similar setup have sound working in Gentoo (just installed 1.4_rc3 for first time ).
The sound will work in SuSE and RedHat, so I copied the alsa.conf file from the SuSE LiveCD over to gentoo. Don't ask me to post the whole thing if you need it- it's over 500 lines (mainly just testing settings)!

ok.. so:

# env ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" emerge alsa-driver
/* let it do its thing */
then check out the ALSA documentation @ gentoo user docs... do it EXACTLY trhe way the other guy tells you to...

always use intel8x0 instead of emu10k1 as demonstrated.

afterwards, dont forget to UNMUTE your card:
/* after emerging "alsa-utils" */
# amixer set Master 100 unmute
# amixer set PCM 100 unmute
dont forget to read the entire documentary, or you might come across a problem later on some time... aways "emerge alsa-driver" neu kernel kompilation/installation

hope i could help!

I don't know what was wrong. That's actually the 4th time I've installed the alsa-drivers. Whatever was wrong before is now working! Thanks to all for helping!
