I just installed the new 2.5.53 kernel and everything works just fine with the exception of alsa. I had alsa previosly installed with my 2.4.20 kernel, so I figured I'd just compile the included alsa as modules. The modules do load fine and all, but when I try to do alsamixer or start an application with sound, nothing works. Please help me I am desperate!

If I'm not mistaken, the 2.5 series has alsa support (modules, etc) natively. If that's true, ya shouldn't need to emerge the seperate ebuild...

when did he say that he emerged the alsa ebuilds?

just check you have all the entries in /dev/snd that corrospond to your soundcard etc... (pcm, mixer etc...).

If not, try compiling the alsa drivers directly into the kernel (and remember to change your modules.autoload to avoid boot-time errors :)) and see if that works.

Hope i can help!
