Hi Experts, I recently installed Gentoo on my machine however there is no audio at all. Few details furnished below -

Subsystem: Dell 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller
pcilib: sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: Input/output error

your card is just there, probably then sound is just mute.
| Code: | | amixer set Master unmute 100 |

Unless you specifically have -acl set in your USE flag, you probably need to add your user account to the audio group.
From the ALSA wiki page. |

Did that - added user to audio group, restarted the box and still no sound. I have set alsamixer to 100 as suggested in previous post.
Something very silly I am missing and it's giving me too much of anxious time
Thanks guys fot all your help and appreciate all the inputs. |

manu_leo,
There are a number of settings needed for audio in linux. Most are covered in previously mentioned Gentoo wiki but occasionally I see recurring forum posts such as 'no HDMI audio' or 'no youtube audio'. These two issues are now covered in the wiki too but I wonder;
- What audio gear is connected? HDMI? Analog?
- What web browser are you using for youtube? Now, most browsers require PulseAudio.
- Have you tried the console app 'aplay'? (aplay -D default /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav)
'emerge --info' might be helpful. 'grep SND /usr/src/linux/.config' might be useful too.
Best.. |

Have you tried playing an audio file known to work? Firefox has some audio issues with ALSA lately... |

firefox dropped alsa support in favour of pulseaudio. if you don't use pulseaudio you can roll back to firefox esr (version 52.x), or there are some other things you can try like apulse (which is some sort of shim). |

First things first:

This question is _extremely_ important here.
In your case the analog device has lower index (0,0) than hdmi (0,3) and probably is preferred by the system.
Check with aplay or any other player that will let you manually set the playback device whether the device is currently dead or the audio stream goes to a dead end without speakers attached. |
