hello,
i have an intel x86 mac mini on which i installed gentoo:

Code:
$ cat /etc/*-release
Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14


Code:
$ uname -a
Linux mini 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 #1 SMP Sun Jun 11 13:46:04 EDT 2006 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2300  @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux


i've been trying to get audio to play on this guy but havent had any luck yet. i've searched online and found that sound seems to work better by installing the modules manually rather than having it in the kernel. so thats what i've been trying too (deselected it from menuconfig and emerged alsa-driver & alsa-utils, ran alsaconf). everything seems to be setup/installed correctly, i think, im hoping someone can see what i missed:

Code:
# lspci|grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)


Code:
# /etc/init.d/alsasound start
 * Loading ALSA modules ...
 *   Loading: snd-card-0 ...                                                    [ ok ]
 *   Loading: snd-seq-oss ...                                                   [ ok ]
 *   Loading: snd-pcm-oss ...                                                   [ ok ]
 * Restoring Mixer Levels ...                                                   [ ok ]


this is what shows in the messages log when i start alsasound:

Code:
