Still getting nowhere with this.

I have tried to configure the sound drivers as in the other distribution.

So I have:
Code:

$ lsmod |  sort
Module                  Size  Used by
ac97_bus                1292  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd                    44624  10 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_ac97_codec         88980  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_intel8x0           26484  0
snd_mixer_oss          12324  1 snd_pcm_oss

snd_pcm                59316  3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec

snd_seq_dummy           2356  0
snd_seq_midi_event      5052  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq_oss            25200  0
snd_timer              15852  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
soundcore               4748  1 snd


With the other distribution, I get:
Code:

$ lsmod | grep snd | sort
ac97_bus                9856  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd                    63268  16 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device
snd_ac97_codec        111652  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_intel8x0           37532  3
snd_mixer_oss          22784  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_page_alloc         16136  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_pcm                83204  3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm_oss            46848  0
snd_rawmidi            29824  1 snd_seq_midi
snd_seq                57776  6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device         15116  5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq
snd_seq_dummy          10884  0
snd_seq_midi           14336  0
snd_seq_midi_event     15232  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi
snd_seq_oss            38528  0
snd_timer              29960  2 snd_pcm,snd_seq
soundcore              15328  1 snd


One thing that does look strange is with the other distribution, snd_intel8x0 shows "Used by" 3, but it doesn't list anything. Any ideas on what to try next?



I have the same sound card you do and had the same problem. I dont use pulseaudio but still think this may help.

Read my thread and it will explain everything. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-789892-highlight-.html

If you look at the output of the lsmod you posted notice that the one that works has the intel8x0 driver higher on the list than your Gentoo Box. Once you get them in the right order you should have sound.

Hope this helps.

Another several months (and hundreds of additional hours) and I still can't make any progress with this.

I have tried a USB sound card, with the same results (everything looks like it works, but no sound comes out).

Some more information:

Code:

# aplay -v /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Is there anything unusual in there?

Does anyone have ANY other ideas?
