Hi brett,

Thanks for your advice.

Gentoo 1.4
Linux version 2.4.20-gentoo-r7
genkernel-1.8
Creative Sound Blaster Live.
=====================

I followed
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml
Code listing 2.1: Kernel configuration to proceed

Some thing strange happened

# cd /usr/src/linux
# cp .config config-AA.bak
cp: cannot stat `.config': No such file or directory
# cp .config ~/
cp: cannot stat `.config': No such file or directory
# find / -name .config
/root/.conf

The .config file in under /root/

# cd /root/
# ls -al
......
.config
.....

Shall I start from there

B.R.

You don't need the driver from Alsa!!! When you merge alsa-driver it will get what you need if you tell it.

First read the Gentoo doc.

Second, read the ALSA doc pertaining to your sound card. That's why I referenced Alsa - it gives you some information on setting up /etc/modules.d/alsa file.

Third set the environment variable to the card type which will tell Alsa to install just that driver rather than all of them.

Finally, merge alsa-driver, alsa-util, alsa-tools and set up the /etc/modules.d/alsa file for your card.

Then run modules-update

The run the rc-update per the Gentoo docs.

Hi brett,

Thanks for your advice. I will download corresponding driver from www.alsa-project.org relevant to my sound card, Creative Sound Blaster Live. Previously I have installed this sound card on RH9 without problem. But I am inexperienced on Gentoo. I hope I can manage.

Thanks

Yes, the alsa doc will work. Also check out www.alsa-project.org adn the details on your sound card.
