Nikos, Thank you for your help. 1. I am using a self-configured kernel (I have been doing this since I installed Gentoo two years ago) 2. My sound card is an Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 3. I am using the driver CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL 4. I have not tried enabling all intel codec in the kernel, but I will. === While gathering the answers to your questions, I discovered something interesting: 5. /etc/init.d/alsasound was not running 6. Eventhough /etc/init.d/alsasound was not running, I am getting audio (just crappy audio) 7. Eventhough /etc/init.d/alsasound is listed as an rc-update boot service, it still wasn't running 8. While /etc/init.d/alsasound was not running, alsamixer still works 9. If I execute "/etc/init.d/alsasound start", alsasound will start. Sound quality improves but still has low quality. Can anyone explain 6, 7, or 8? Thank you, Chris
