Thanks a lot Helena for your tip ! That works for me. I now have sound on my ASUS Laptop !
Thanks to Gentoo Forums !

In 2.6 ALSA support is built into the kernel, so you have to enable it there (do NOT build it as a module). Also make sure that all relevant options are set: Code: | cd /usr/src/linux-beta
make menuconfig |
Choose the Sound option, and answer Y to:
and, under Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<*> Sequencer support
<*> OSS API emulation
<*> OSS Mixer API
<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
<*> OSS Sequencer API and enable your soundcard under the correct subheading (mine is under "PCI devices"). Make sure you disable < > Open Sound System (DEPRECATED) Now rebuild your kernel with Code: | make clean bzImage modules modules_install
mount /boot
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot |
and reboot. So you no longer have to emerge any ALSA drivers. But you still have to emerge the utilities with
Clearly there is no need anymore to add alsasound to the boot runlevel since it's built into the kernel already, so skip that and proceed to unmuting the sound channels as described in the guide: Code: | amixer set Master 100 unmute
amixer set PCM 100 unmute |
Now sound should be working when you start KDE!
/EDIT Note: I just found out that unmuting is not preserved across reboots! |

|
|
Thank you a lot for the howto.
I use kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1,
a "AMD-8111 AC97 Audio" sound device
with Athlon64/Opteron.
After installing alsa with the gentoo alsa howto, coldplug could not start the modules.
Because of very big frustration I removed anything in
/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/alsa-driver/
and
/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/sound/
and unmerged alsa-driver and alsa-headers
After that I put (nearly) everything alsa like in the kernel settings to <Module>:
Quote: | <M> Sound card support
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ---> |
Quote: | Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<M> Sequencer support
< > Sequencer dummy client
<M> OSS Mixer API
<M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*] OSS Sequencer API
< > RTC Timer support
[ ] Verbose printk
[ ] Debug
Generic devices --->
PCI devices --->
USB devices --->

<M> Dummy (/dev/null) soundcard

Quote: | PCI devices
<M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller |
Quote: | Open Sound System
< > Open Sound System (DEPRECATED) |
and compiled the kernel ...
And ONLY reemerged alsa-utils - rebooted - and I 've sound again!
!!!Great!!! _________________ Greetings from Vienna |

Hi!
To have the discussion from the start of the topic maybe reinitiated :
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mixer_aka_dmix#Kernel_2.6.16
Quote: | Be aware that as of right now, you should only run 2.6.16 with Alsa built into the kernel. |
-Anyway: before i read that, i was trying to get it done with modules... now how do i get rid of all those?
(emerge unmerge ... & modules update didnt suffice)
Greets,
