Jens:
Thanks for asking that very basic question. I am in the process of setting up 
my first Gentoo system. And I have to admite that after 5 years of running a 
linux machine and install the next update, I feel like a total newibie and am 
struggling to correct the few start up bugs I have. 
Any way when it became too much for me to fuss with the onboard sound chip, I 
installed a spare sound balster live card I had, and your question caused me 
to remember that when I installed the card, I did not move the audio cable 
from the motherboard connection. Thanks very much.

Ralph
