I could need some basic help as to why my sound card isn't found at bootup. I'm a pretty blind Gentoo newb, and my system is newly installed.

This is what is interesting during the boot:
Code:
ALSA Device List:
  No soundcards found


My soundcard is an M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496, and is listed on the alsa-project.org website as supported.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the (correct) kernel options for your soundcard chipset in your kconfig?

Thank you for that link. I'm recompiling with correct (I hope) configuration now.

Solution: Enable some stuff in Device Drivers - Sound

That's basically it. Thanks, KRF.
