Hi all - trying to get Alsa going.

Going by the documentation at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml

first off- sound card type is as follows:

cat /proc/pci | grep audio

intel corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev5)


I then go to the ALSA Soundcard Matrix at http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/

I beleive the module i want to use is AD1886 (under Analog Devices) - not sure, if anyone knows for sure, please let me know.

I then go to get the alsa driver:

#env ALSA_CARDS='AD1886' emerge alsa-driver

This errors out and says it cannot find AD1886 - I tried the other intel ones under Analog Devices with the same error.

I then just emerge all alsa-drivers

I then edit the /etc/modules.d/alsa file and add the following:
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1

I tried loading the AD1886 module anyways in this file by:
alias snd-card-0 snd-ad1886

That did not work - said it couldnt find it..so i removed it.

Everything else looks fine, per the documentation - the /etc/devfsd.conf..etc

Alsa will start fine.

I emerge alsa-utils ->ok
then try to run amixer - no go. Though amixer is there in /usr/bin

I try to insmod snd-mixer-oss and snd-pcm-oss -> seem to get
"unresolved symbol snd_pcm_hw_param_value_max_Rsmp_94d778ed"
"unresolved symbol snd_oss_info_register_Rsmp_8df3789f"

Because of this, I obviously cannot unmute the master and pcm channels.



**Should I just choose the driver in the kernel - and not set sound support as a module?** Had this, and didnt seem to work, but could of done something wrong.

Please - anything will be great.

Thanks :)

Moved from Installing Gentoo.

If you've finished the install guide, look somewhere else. But if you're still working your way through it, or just need some info before you start your install, this is the place.
