Hello gentoo users. I installed alsa as specified on the wiki, both alsa and alsa-utils. When I open alsamixer in the terminal I get "This sound device does not have any controls." All I can think is that I have the wrong audio settings in the kernel but other than that I'm extremely lost on how to proceed. Any suggestions?
Here's my lspci | grep -i audio:
Code:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)
Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF106 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

You might want to configure asound.conf or .asoundrc per http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ALSA. There are many examples that you could use. My guess is that it's using the wrong audio device by default.

Code:
aplay -L
should show your default sound device. What output do you get from this?
