Did you try unmuting all channels with alsamixer yet? Or better, did you follow the Gentoo ALSA configuration guide?

Yes i followed the guide, there were 2 ways of intalling the ALSA...........i followed the first one -the less complicated-............there is another -little more complicated- with emerge alsa-drivers -if i not remember bad-

How i do alsamixer??

and did you have a clue of what happens with VLC??

Thank you very much

For alsamixer you must
Code:
emerge alsa-utils

and then do
Code:
alsamixer

For VLC sorry I don't know, did you compiled it with the wxwindows use flag ?
Try to launch it from a terminal and see the output.

Well, that was it, the alsamixer -i did not know, sorry-

Thank you very much both of you.

About VLC i did:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-gentoo.html

i mean, create this archives: /etc/portage/package.keywords (and added: media-video/vlc ~x86)
and this other archive: /etc/portage/package.use (and added: media-video/vlc dvd ffmpeg mpeg mad wxwindows aac dts a52 ogg flac theora oggvorbis matroska freetype bidi xv svga gnutls stream vlm httpd cdda vcd cdio live )

Still i does not work.
