ok, all of you said alsa in-kernel + alsa-lib + alsa-header is working
perfectly.
Yes, it's working for me too on my other gentoo box.
But i read this after building alsa-lib:
* Please try in-kernel ALSA drivers instead of the alsa-drivers ebuild.
* If alsa-drivers works for you where a recent kernel does not, we want
* to know about this. Our e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* However, if you notice no sound output or instability, please try to
* upgrade your kernel to a newer version first.
and this makes me think i should get rid of those packages as it say "instead".
Is this wrong? do we still need alsa-lib and co.?
