Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2013 11:55 am Post subject: getting sound working |
|
|
I have a fairly fresh install of gentoo and I am trying to get sound working. Honestly I know very little about sound. I've had gentoo on this machine before and it always just worked. I kinda took it for granted.
I have been following the tutorial here,
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
but this doesn't seem to work. I'm a little confused about whether pulseaudio, and jack audio need to be installed. Do I need either or both? My main use of sound is just for mp3's, and games.
I run in to this complication trying to install pulseaudio.
Code: | * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.
(sys-fs/udev-204::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
sys-fs/udev required by @selected
(sys-apps/systemd-201::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=sys-apps/systemd-198-r5[kmod] required by (virtual/udev-197-r3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

I'm pretty sure I need udev, but if systemd is required, I'm not sure how I got it installed before. |

systemd is an instance of virtual udev as shown by:
equery g virtual/udev |

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely certain what that means or how I proceed.
Does that mean I cannot install pulseaudio? |

You most likely don't need jack.
As for systemd, it's hard to tell without seeing whole emerge output (perhaps even with '-t'). |

Strangely enough I fixed it. Well. Sort of. It actually just started working. Well, it least it works now. |
