I have managed to get my first Gentoo installation up and running on one of my old laptops (Dell Latitude E5450 i5). Call me noob if you want but I think almost everything works except sound.
Searched for solutions and tried several things without luck.

Someone who can be kind and assist with help?

I hope some of this below are helpful or let me know what to dig after.
Thanks in advance.

nirucon,

Welcome to Gentoo.

You have at least two sound cards, maybe the wrong card is the default?
What does /proc/asound/devices contain?

Which audio output do you want to use?

To save us a round of quests, please put your kernel .config file onto a pastebin site.
Its far too big for a post, wgetpaste can help.

Thank you for welcome and fast reply!

/proc/asound/devices
Code:

  1:        : sequencer
  2: [ 1- 0]: digital audio playback
  3: [ 1- 0]: digital audio capture
  4: [ 1- 0]: hardware dependent
  5: [ 1]   : control
  6: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback
  7: [ 0- 7]: digital audio playback
  8: [ 0- 8]: digital audio playback
  9: [ 0- 9]: digital audio playback
 10: [ 0-10]: digital audio playback
 11: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
 12: [ 0]   : control
 33:        : timer


.config (probably many noob errors hahaha)

nirucon,

As card 0 has no capture controls, that is likely your HDMI output(s) associated with the video card.
Card 0 is the default card, which is not what you want

Make a file called
Code:
/etc/asound.conf
containing
Code:
# Use sound card 1 by default.
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.ctl.card 1


-- Edit --

Reply timing is a matter of luck.
