Thank you NeddySeagoon for your reply.

Almost all the options there are either not useful or interfere with normal video card operation.
Only EFI Framebuffer, VESA Framebuffer and Simple Framebuffer are useful today.
Those options cannot fix your firmware support.

I dont know what to tell you. What I did was: 1) make olddefconfig; 2) make menuconfig; 3) set those options above and check for the others in the nvidea gentoo page (all others were already set); 4) make; 5) make modules_install; 6) make install; 7) creating initramfs with dracut;  update grub and reboot. After that the error message regarding nvidea and pmu was no more.

I just want audio to work regularly, dont need anything special just regular use.

vcmota,
| Code: | <*> nVidia Framebuffer Support
<*> nVidia Riva support |
are both for cards that have not been made in well over 10 years. nVidia Framebuffer takes control of any nVidia GPU it finds, which stops the driver you really want to use from working.
Your ALSA stuff looks good.

is the default device. Its normally your speakers. In ALSAspeak that's the front speakerns and front Mic.
Sound cards using snd_hda_intel have a wart yo need to be aware of.
They can output sound using the 44.1kHz sample rate or the 48kHz sample rate but not both together. If any 48kHz sample rate output is unmuted all the 44.1kHz sample rate outputs will be silent.
In alsamixer, mute everything except Front, Master and PCM. Set their sliders to about 70% then test.
If you want no use a different output, you will need to tell alsa about it.

And plz plz plz set SElinux to permissive for Gods shake.
At least until you can first have a stable functional booting system.
Better still to disabled.
Permanently.
It will be a constant relentless source of problems for you especially in DE rnvironment.

Thank you NeddySeagoon for your reply. It is partially working now! After messing in the alsamixer eventually the sound came up, but only for the speakers. Nothing for the headphones. When I play something (youtube) the audio comes from the speakers and desapears when I plug the headphones. I can see in the alsa mixer that speaker goes mute and headphone unmute, but no sound from the headphones. |

Thank you alamahant for your reply. It is in permissive mode and it will be set like this for a while, just after many weeks or months with everything working that I will turn it on. |

Now all sound devices are working as I need. To solve the headset problem all it took was the suggestion in the alsa gentoo wiki page, to add within /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf the following line:
| Code: |
options snd-hda-intel model=headset-mic
|
After reboot many additional options related to the headset (microphone and audio) showed up in the alsamixer. |

There is some weird issue with my audio, that seems to be in alsa configuration but that I cant figure it out.
I am listening to something (say youtube) from the speakers and then I plug the headset. The desired behaviour would be the sound to keep coming but now from the headset. That is not what is happening, the sound simply stops and I have to manually activate it on alsamixer. But, after activating, if I unplug the headset and just after plug it back, than the sound again desapears and I have to return to alsamixer.
As you can see below, there are so many sound devices on this computer:

but I believe I have found the culprit, it is 'Input Source',0: When the headset is plugged in and there is no sound this is its state:
| Code: |
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0
Capabilities: cenum
Items: 'Headset Mic' 'Headphone Mic'
Item0: 'Headphone Mic'
|
but after manually "fixing" the sound in alsamixer, with audio now coming from the headset as it should, this is its state:
| Code: |
Simple mixer control 'Input Source',0
Capabilities: cenum
Items: 'Headset Mic' 'Headphone Mic'
Item0: 'Headset Mic'
|
I have managed to make keybindings for controlling Master, but I have no idea on how to change this behavior. Is there a way?
Thank you all for your attention. |

Well, I guess I can say the problem has been solved. Although the precise reason for the issue has not been found, in the last week two new source kernels have been released. I have successfully installed both, and the system boots flawlessly with either one of them. In both cases dracut have been used, as well as make oldconfig.
Thank you all for your help! |
