Did you recently remove the drivers for your audio from your kernel?
try running alsaconf and paste the output here.
also paste your drivers section of your kernel config

 Have a lot of fun!

Is this a manual or genkernel kernel?
It seems you don't have the drivers you need as either modules or compiled in to your kernel.

first you need to select your profile

eselect profile list


then emerge -uDpv world
(no question mark)

that is a preview of the updates you will emerge.

I didnt realise I was so out of date.
I will get back to you with the results
I seem to have blocked packages.

Code:
blocks B     ] <=dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r2 ("<=dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r2" is blocking dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r5)
[blocks B     ] sys-fs/device-mapper ("sys-fs/device-mapper" is blocking sys-fs/udev-146-r1)

Total: 351 packages (249 upgrades, 94 new, 8 in new slots, 3 uninstalls), Size of downloads: 1,460,639 kB
Conflict: 24 blocks (2 unsatisfied)
Portage tree and overlays:
 [0] /usr/portage
 [?] indicates that the source repository could not be determined

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r5', 'merge') pulled in by
    >=dev-libs/boost-1.33.1 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'app-office/openoffice-3.1.1', 'merge')

  ('installed', '/', 'sys-fs/device-mapper-1.02.24-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in by
    >=sys-fs/device-mapper-1.00.07-r1 required by ('installed', '/', 'sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.6-r2', 'nomerge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-fs/udev-146-r1', 'merge') pulled in by

    >=sys-fs/udev-124 required by ('installed', '/', 'sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.6-r2', 'nomerge')
    (and 2 more)


For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked


 * IMPORTANT: 7 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.


Is it safe to remove them then remerge ?
I need to play on my fedora box and get the hang of this again
