Hi,

I just bought a gigabyte mobo (GA-K8NF-9) with the nforce4 chipset and do not get the sound to work. I am using gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3 and the snd_intel8x0 module. Everything seems fine except for the fact that I get this message:
Code:

 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                        [ ok ]
 * Loading ALSA modules ...
 *   Loading: snd-card-0 ...                                                               [ ok ]
 * Restoring Mixer Levels ...
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:894: warning: name mismatch (Line-In As Surround/Mic Front Input Switch) for control #37
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:896: warning: index mismatch (0/0) for control #37
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:898: failed to obtain info for control #37 (Operation not permitted)         


and that I do not get any sound.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance

seems like sth is wrong with restoring mixer levels...
try editing /etc/conf.d/alsasound and changing RESTORE_ON_START="yes" to RESTORE_ON_START="no", don't change SAVE_ON_STOP (it should be"yes")
when you restart the service
Code:
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart

your card will be muted, you can then unmute it using alsamixer and change the setting RESTORE_ON_STARTUP to "yes" again.
this way you will reset the settings.
hope this will help...

Thank you very much. Now I do not get the error message anymore but still no sound :( .

I thought the nforce4 onboard soundcard was supported by alsa. Any other suggestions ??
