Okay, I cannot get my sound to in KDE to work. I have followed the ALSA Gentoo wiki and did all that I thought I was supposed to do but didn't work. After that I went back and changed the kernel configuration to a module instead built into the kernel following this site http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Intel_DG965MQMKR#Sound When I bring up alsamixer it tells me that
Code:
This sound device does not have any controls.
. Here is some other info that may help in figuring out what is wrong.

Code:
lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)


Code:
lsmod:
Module                  Size  Used by
snd_hda_intel          15859  1
snd_hda_controller     18329  1 snd_hda_intel
snd_hda_codec          85025  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller
iwl3945                52445  0
iwlegacy               46481  1 iwl3945
mac80211              411028  2 iwl3945,iwlegacy
snd_hwdep               6084  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm                77810  3 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller
snd_timer              17798  1 snd_pcm
snd                    53618  7 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
soundcore               5002  2 snd,snd_hda_codec


I have ALSA installed but not sure what else I need to do. Appreciate any help I can get.

When I bring up alsamixer it says "This sound device does not have any controls." I don't have any options to increase the volume. I try to select my intel sound card with the F6 Select Sound Card but "0 HDA Intel" is my only option. Not sure what is wrong.

Chroot into ur system with the livecd and try # lspci -k to see which driver the kernel is using and see if your using the same one in ur kernel.
U seem to have it as a module. U can try having it built-in instead.

Why do you need a sticky? Don't you like answering the same question a million times?

All kidding aside. Thanks for your help even though I should have checked for a sticky first.

I fixed my sound by doing what you said in another post. I rebuilt my kernel with all the available HDA codecs built in and alsa found the right one for me. Know my sound works and I am a happy man!
