at the end of the mail (thanks) I didn't pu alsa in modules.autoload, but I used: rc-update add alsasound boot but as I can understand, alsasound it's just a script, not a module, and it should load several other modules... in dmesg there is nothing concerning alsa and if i try to modprobe it (alsa or alsasound) it cannot find it, it's just because it's not a real module but just a script? > > > > If yes what can i do toload what i need to play music? > > If I follow alsa gentoo doc it doen't work, maybe I'm doing > > somethingstupid again... > > Don't take it personally. IT IS ALSA!!!!! ALSA IS VERY DIFFICULT!!!! (And > doesn't work very well with some hardware...) ok, so what I'm now asking to myself is: do I really need it? Can it really make my music better that oss? Alb modules.conf: ### This file is automatically generated by modules-update # # Please do not edit this file directly.
