Here's a strategy I occasionally use... 1) Download a Gentoo "minimal install" and set up a USB key to boot from it.
2) Boot the PC from the install USB key. 3) Execute the command... lsmod | less 4) Manually scan the output for anything related to sound and write it down. That should give you an idea of what modules the install decided on after doing hardware probing. This'll work for almost any device. I recently installed Gentoo on a older machine with an ethernet chip that identified as a string of numbers which didn't help me. But checking "lsmod | less" showed the "e1000e" module in use. I compiled in the driver that gives that module and it works. To get a screen capture that you can post here... 1) Boot from the install USB key. 2) mount /dev/sdxy /mnt/gentoo Where "x" is a, or b, or c, etc. "y" is 1, or 2, or 3, etc as appropriate for your machine. 3) lsmod > /mnt/gentoo/mymodules.txt Reboot, from the hard drive, find "mymodules.txt" and check it. If you need further help, post it on this list.
