Question about sound on Linux: I've installed Gentoo for a friend of mine, and some weird behaviour happens: He does not have anything in /dev/sound. We attempted to mknod the devices so that they appear the same as on my laptop (with an intel8x0 module supported soundcard)... no dice. He is now back to the state of nothing in /dev/sound.
alsamixer gives the error: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device ... assuming that's the /dev/sound emptiness? He is on a SiS mainboard of some form. /proc/pci gives the line Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 160). A modprobe of snd-intel8x0 then doing /etc/init.d/alsasound restart caused an oops (did it really try to insmod it a second time?) ... but that was earlier today. Any thoughts?
