Which kernel were you using before the new kernel install. I did also have some problems when i upgraded from 2.6.13 to 2.6.14. Check
that your kernel config is correct. In my case the config hasn't been correct.
Cheers

I got my new computer about a month ago. It uses the snd-hda-intel ALSA
driver. I fought with it for a week or two and finally got it working
with alsa-driver (it wouldn't work when I attempted to compile ALSA
support for the card into the kernel.) Yesterday it just kind of
stopped. I've just rebuild kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 (removing SMP
support - someone told me last time that it might cause a problem) and
before I rebuilt the kernel I removed all the old modules
from /lib/modules for this kernel. I remerged alsa-driver. I try to
start /etc/init.d/alsamixer and I hear the little <click/pop> sound out
of my speakers that tells me that Gentoo has activated my sound card. I
try to run alsamixer to unmute the card, but I get an error:
camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ...
[ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq-oss ...
[ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels ...
* No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!
[ ok ]camille ~ # alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument
The funny thing is that when I reload gnome-panel (killall gnome-panel)
I have a volume control applet there. It's muted, but I slide the
volume bar up. On File->Change Device (in the volume control applet) it
claims to be using Realtek ALC880 (OSS Mixer), but I can't hear any
sound from any of my other applications (including by selecting the OSS
Mixer in xmms.) After I turn the volume up in the volume control applet
if I go back to my terminal and try to run alsamixer again I get the
same stupid error message, and if I restart /etc/init.d/alsasound I get
this:
camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart

I have an /etc/asound.state backed up. When I restore it and
restart /etc/init.d/alsasound I get this:
camille ~ # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.

Any thoughts on how to get my sound back, or why it just quit in the
first place?
