When I first compiled the kernel, I used the in-kernel alsa. After some monkeying around, I changed alsa support to module. Now when I emerge alsa-driver, I get this error:

Code:

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc1 to /

I have a Asus M2N-MX mobo and lspci gives the following for Audio:
Code:
00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2)


I used snd-hda-intel driver for the same. Sound works but I get a high-pitch sound if I play any file. Haven't compiled KDE yet and I am using mpg123 for playback.

After reading https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-512733.html#3704439 and http://www.planetamd64.com/lofiversion/index.php/t23938.html, I tried putting
Code:
"options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack"
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa but it doesn't help.

Kernel:
Code:

Linux localhost 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 23 00:54:14 IST 2007 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux



So finally, my two problems are:
1. emerge alsa-driver failing
2. high pitch sound

As the error message says you cannot have both ALSA in kernel and the package. You might want to double check the symlink on your /usr/src/linux and recheck that you don't have ALSA in kernel - or some old modules still around. Plus usual suspect, did you reboot new kernel ? boot was mounted when you copied kernel in /boot ?

Code:

localhost src # ls -l 
total 1
-rw-r--r--  1 root root    0 Mar 19 20:59 .keep
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   22 Mar 21 13:02 linux -> linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 1328 Mar 23 00:55 linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5


The symlink seems to be fine.

Here are the .config file's SND options:
Code:

localhost linux # grep SND .config
CONFIG_SND=m
CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM=m
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m
# CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS=y
CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y
# CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER is not set
# CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API is not set
# CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PROCFS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set
# CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_SND_DUMMY is not set
# CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI is not set
# CONFIG_SND_MTPAV is not set
# CONFIG_SND_SERIAL_U16550 is not set

<snipped>

# CONFIG_SND_FM801 is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m
# CONFIG_SND_HDSP is not set

<snipped>

# CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO is not set
# CONFIG_SND_USB_USX2Y is not set


/boot is mounted and the boot entry points to the correct kernel. I am booting into this kernel.

I also did a make clean before compiling the kernel.

Please read the guide I linked.
Code:
CONFIG_SND is not set. (In-built ALSA support disabled)


You still have ALSA in kernel.

Thanks! That explains the error message.

I did a make clean. After recompiling and rebooting into the new kernel and adding the options line to modules.d/alsa, the sound works fine.
