Has it been muted? alamixer will tell you. There are some new gentoo options in /etc/conf.d/alsasound In short: as root use alsaconf to set up the card set the above mentioned config file as below and of course make sure the alsasound initscript is in your boot runlevel :-) cat /etc/conf.d/alsasound # ENABLE_OSS_EMUL: # Do you want to enable in-kernel oss emulation? # no - Do not load oss emul drivers # yes - Load oss emul drivers if they're found ENABLE_OSS_EMUL="yes" # RESTORE_ON_START: # Do you want to restore your mixer settings? If not, your cards will be # muted. # no - Do not restore state # yes - Restore state RESTORE_ON_START="yes" # SAVE_ON_STOP: # Do you want to save changes made to your mixer volumes when alsasound # stops? # no - Do not save state # yes - Save state SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"
