Ok, I have a up and running Gentoo system. My Nvidia video card works with 3-d accelleration, my network card works, gnome and kde work, the only thing that does not work is my sound card.

I have a Soundblaster 16 pci. I have tried using alsa with the snd-ens1371 module and I get an error message about device not found. I have tried compiling support into the kernel for the es1371 chip and no errors were reported but no sound.

Truthefully I am a little confused about what I should do at this point. Any help would be apprecieated.

You might try compiling the kernel with the "100% Soundblaster" support, ii.e. not as a module, but compiled directly in. Look at the help for this particular driver and it will tell you the order to give arguments in the kernel line for grub. Something like

Code:

kernel /bzImage sb=0x200,5,1 .....


(port 0x200, irq 5, and dma=1)
