-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually, I ditched Debian and installed Gentoo on my home system too.
First I installed everything (without the USE="+alsa" flag). Then I added this flag and installed ALSA. I then ran alsaconf, rebooted, and low and behold, sound is working. Thanks to Kevin for the help, these instructions worked on two computers already.
