I followed the desktop guide to try and get the sound working but amixer returns an error stating ALSA drivers are not loaded. I have onboard audio on Intel 850 board made by analog devices. Any tips on where to start looking for the problem? :D

Did you include the alsa driver in your /etc/modules.autoload file?

# /etc/modules.autoload: kernel modules to load when system boots.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and
# are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details.

# For example:
# 3c59x
snd-pcm-oss
snd-card-intel8x0

This is what i have in my modules.autoload file

Is that snd-pcm-oss the kernel sound module? If yes, try to put it after the alsa module. This is the only way it worked for me...

What do you get if you type
Code:
modprobe snd-card-intel8x0
?

/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo/misc/snd-card-intel8x0.o: insmod snd-card-intel8x0 failed

This is the output when I run modprobe. I have went and verified the name of the module and that its there. Everything seems like it should be ok.

Try to recompile the kernel with the option "Set version information on all module symbols" (under "Loadable module support") unchecked, if you had it checked before.

Tried the recompiled kernel with no luck. Guess I will just stick with the OSS driver for now :)

You might want to check to make sure that the oss driver isn't still built into the kernel. If it isn't set up as a module, or not installed, it might be not allowing the alsa driver to load....

They've changed to just snd-????, where ???? is your sound card. so snd-card-ymfpci will change to snd-ymfpci. Hope this helps
