I've compiled snd-hda-intel into my kernel, but this is what i get: | Code: | newpc linux # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Could not detect custom ALSA settings. Loading all detected alsa drivers.
* Unable to find any ALSA drivers. Have you compiled alsa-drivers correctly?
* ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ...
alsactl: unrecognized option `---'
Usage: alsactl <options> command
Available options:
-h,--help this help
-f,--file # configuration file (default /etc/asound.state or /etc/asound.names)
-F,--force try to restore the matching controls as much as possible
-d,--debug debug mode
-v,--version print version of this program
Available commands:
store <card #> save current driver setup for one or each soundcards
to configuration file
restore <card #> load current driver setup for one or each soundcards
from configuration file

and my Debian Lenny setup works perfectly fine with the snd-hda-intel module.
TIA

gsoe,
That error is safe to ignore. It means you have a line in /etc/modules.d/alsa to load snd-hda-intel, which is bound to fail as its not a module.
Remove that line.
You will probably need the module option model=, which you can discove from your debian install.
Add it to the end your your gentoo kernel line with snd-hda-intel.model=...
alsactl: unrecognized option `---' suggests you have another problem in /etc/modules.d/alsa too

Thanks for the help, but I don't seem to be able to find out what model name my Debian install uses, but I've tried 3stack, which was suggested somewhere for MCP51. It didn't work though. Do you happen to know where to look in Debian, or where to find a list of model names?
As for the alsactl error, I think it's just because the install has been moved from another board, so the state form a different card is stored. |

gsoe,
There is a list of models in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
I don't know where to look in Debian.

| Solved the problem, well... sort of. I compiled snd_hda_intel as a module to facilitate experimenting with different parameters. Now a simple modprobe snd_hda_intel followed by restart of alsasound makes everything work! |

gsoe,
Is alsasound in the defualt runlevel ?
| Code: | | rc-update -s --verbose |
will list your settings
