That one is new for me (that ACPI is required for sound). But, I do have a new laptop running ACPI (the patch from sourceforge) with kernel 2.4.21, and alsa-driver and alsa-utils installed. It works fine. I don't emerge my kernels, I just get what I want. You have to manually configure and build them anyway. BTW, did you unmute your soundcard channels? After each (re)install they are muted. Check with alsamixer: if you have "MM" at the top of the volume bar, they're muted! > I saw that there is a apci4linux USE option, should I use it in > compiling kernel? I guess you should set it before emerging a kernel; I suppose it will get the acpi patch, and apply it. Check the ebuild! When compiling the kernel that flag is not used.
