I'm trying to get the sound to work on my new Gateway MX3410 notebook.
I've installed Gentoo and followed the instructions on their site for
setting up ALSA. Alsaconf detects my card and the drivers load, but
there is no sound. Of course, I checked the setting with alsamixer and
unmuted the master playback volume control. I tried playing an MP3 with
madplay as both myself and root. No errors from madplay, but no music
either. KDE no longer complains about the sound system at startup, but
no sound there either.
I've tried the drivers that came with kernel (2.6.17-gentoo-r4;
1.0.11rc4) as well as the latest stable drivers (1.0.11).
I don't seem to have many mixer controls:
Output: Master (unmuted, 100%); PCM (100%); Capture Mux (0%)
Input: Capture (off, 0%); Capture Mux (on, 0%)
Switches: IEC958 (off); Input Source (Front Mic)
I've played with these setting to no avail. Also, my notebook has an
output for headphones, but there is no control for this; is that normal?
There's no sound from the headphones either.
Some information is listed below.
Thanks,
Chris
