Yeah, I've done this.

 Hi again - I tried
 # emerge -s alsa 
 and got loads of output. Would you know what the correct emerge command is
 for the alsa driver modules? Does alsaconf come as part of the driver
 install? 

 I had installed alsamixer (with -alsa ...) earlier and it loads a blank
 interface with no controls at all.

 At this stage I'm doing 
 # emerge --update --ask --deep --verbose --newuse --tree world 

One of my favorite commands.

 as setting alsa on is asking quite few items to want to recompile.

For me, the key to sound was adding gstreamer to USE (and then
running one of my favorite commands).  I use gnome.

OK, stop where you are. Hands off the 'Enter' key ;-)

Hi Holly - To late ... I'd already hit enter ... When I looked at my system
afterwards I had sound ..!! Everything seems to work OK at the moment.
Obviously recompiling with USE=alsa worked. 

I am however going to work through your very informative post. I'm a
genkernel user for no other reason than I just have not made the time to
build a kernel manually (Young children play havoc with time management).

Regards and thanks, Richard

 Hi - I've just finished compiling Gnome and have no sound whatsoever.
 Looking at my USE flags I noticed I had inadvertently set -alsa as a flag.
 
 At this stage I've changed the flag to alsa and re-run genkernel. But still
 no sound. Do I have to recompile everything from scratch or have I made an
 incorrect diagnosis of the problem?
 
 As always any help would be appreciated

genkernel, which problem should it solve?

try emerge --newuse world, to see what has to recompile.

When you change USE flags, you should run

   emerge --update --newuse world

to recompile the affected packages.

Actually I run

   emerge --update --ask --deep --verbose --newuse --tree world

Hi! I haven't got any sound too. I emerged all the alsa things, and when
I alsaconf tries to start the sound I get this:

Loading driver...
 * Loading ALSA modules ...
 *  Loading:snd-card-0 ...
 * ERROR: Failed to load necessary drivers

I have Nvidia Nforce chipset (alsaconf recognises it well), and I
emerged everything with alsa USE flag, in the kernel alsa-stuff are
enabled too. I've made it from the gentoo alsa howto, but it just
do not work... Maybe the driver sould be installed somehow? Or did
I miss something?

Thx!
