Ok, I recompiled my kernel (still 2.4.19-gentoo-r7) the other day to try to get my scanner to work, and when I did it, Alsa stopped working (like I knew it would).

I reemerged the alsa-driver as per the docs, but everything was broken. My /etc/modules.d/alsa no longer had my

Maybe this has something to do with my typing ldconfig? I sort of routinely type this after emerging something, but now I am assuming I should be typing etc-update.

Here is my /etc/modules.d/alsa

Code:
# # Alsa 0.9.X kernel modules' configuration file.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-sound/alsa-driver/files/alsa-modules.conf,v 1.3 2002/06/24 18:05:58 agenkin Exp $

# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
# OSS/Free portion
#alias char-major-14 soundcore

##
## IMPORTANT:
## You need to customise this section for your specific sound card(s)
## and then run `update-modules' command.
## Read alsa-driver's INSTALL file in /usr/share/doc for more info.

When I issue

Sounds a lot like you somehow got sound support for the card compiled into your newest kernel that is causing the trouble. Check your kernel config to verify that you only have Soundcore support (Sound Card support, without supporting any specifically named cards.)

I hope that when Wako said this in his post

that he did exactly that

Code:
emerge alsa


If he did not re-emerge alsa then yes, quite right--please re-emerge alsa!

Try removing the snd- from snd-emu10k1. I am not sure if you need to do it in more places, but I remember that the module names changed.

The problem is that with the newest ALSA release, you no longer put "snd-" in front of the options. Change your options to "major" and "cards_limit" and everything should work again.

Hallelielia!!!!

There were actually 2 things wrong. One, somehow my new kernel was compiling the card into the kernel directly and not as a module.

Two, this last comment about removing snd- was correct. I dd both and it works!!!!!

Thanks Everybody!!!
