no sound

The last thing I did with sound, was to press random key in mplayer(to get to fullscreen, it was dark)
and since then, no sound. Or maybe i played counter-strike on cedega just after that, my memory ain't the finest.
I changed some settings in cedega, but when i realized my sound was downed, turned them back to default.

I've tried another pair of headphones, without success. I tried the sound in windows, worked fine.

I've checked alsamixer, seems to be no problem there. The only thing i hear when trying to get some sound, is a low buzz, like the ones that tests your hearing ability. I did emerge udev some days ago(used the default that came along the installment), i have rebooted, and got it working, don't know if that would matter.

_ANY_ help would be GREATLY appreciated!

pontusen,

Look in /dev/snd and /dev/sound. Are they populated - post the contents here.

Try

pontusen,

That looks good for your kernel set up.

Did you mute something accidently ?

now I know what went wrong, and I know for sure I didn't mixture with it.
in alsamixer -> IEC958 and turn it up did it. strange tho, but well, I know that for next time
