Hello!

my problem is I can't get to play any sounds in media players. Amarok&Kaffeine report that xine can't initialize the audio drivers, mplayer&vlc just won't play any sound. I am pretty sure it is NOT a kernel problem, as ogg123 plays files just fine and there is no problem being reported when loading the drivers.

a little background to my system:
gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r1
x86
intel_hda sound module

I know that this configuration works, as I run a similar gentoo system on the same hardware, just as 64 bit rather than 32bit.

I assume there must be a flaw somewhere in the libraries, but don't know which one to re-emerge. revdep-rebuild does not report any problems either.

so, here the output of emerge --info

in case you wonder why there is so many sound cards, this is because I wanted to leave it open in order to be able to plug my usb hdd into any computer and boot gentoo from there.

Code:

Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.26-gentoo-r1)

You might want to consider adding the following USE flags to your /etc/make.conf file:
Code:
a52 aac alsa ao audiofile avi flac lame ladspa mad mp3 mpeg sndfile theora vorbis win32codecs x264
then run emerge -aDNuv system world. That will update all your players so they can handle other sound file formats.

Blessed be!
Pappy
