Intel HDA Azailia problems

[nightcast2000]

Hi to all,
I have been trying to get my onboard soundcard to work in Gentoo. The motherboard is a Asus Sabertooth 99Fx rev1. The onboard soundcard is a Intel HD Azalia. I have been compiling the kernel with the Intel sound card buil-in or built as a module, with no success. I have installed both Alsa and Pulseaudio, I have looked at the Alsa wiki, but I do get some errors while I get to "aplay" in the following output.

Here is what I have so far:

I managed to get my sound card working last night. It was to do with the way certain kernel modules were set up.

Kmix and KDE Systemsettings show my card as "Bult-in Audio Analog Stereo" but I'll see if I can fix that sometime
