If you are using ALSA, you should be able to use 'ALSA:default' for your output, and 'default' for your mixer. The /dev/dsp devices are for OSS if I'm not mistaken. > I've searched Google but am at a loss. It may be interesting to note > that I had this same problem with trying FC3 per Jarod's guide.

It is possible through the use of OSS emulation and a suitable modprobe.conf file (or the Gentoo equiv) to map outputs through certain OSS devices, but if you have ALSA installed and working you should be able to use ALSA-only outputs. As mentioned by David above, if you are running KDE, disable arts, the KDE sound system. Also, when you used Jarod's guide under FC, did you reuse the sound setup info (asoundrc file etc for SB card) when you installed Gentoo?
