This is from /etc/conf.d/alsasound: # LOAD_ON_START: # Do you want to load sound modules when alsasound starts? # Note: The Gentoo ALSA developers encourage you to build your sound # drivers into the kernel unless the device is hotpluggable or # you need to supply specific options (such as model= to HD-Audio). # no - Do not load modules # yes - Load modules LOAD_ON_START="yes" I've never had a hot-pluggable sound card, so I can only guess whether hald would somehow load that sound module for you. So say LOAD_ON_START="no", compile the on-board sound driver into the kernel and do the other one as a module -- and let us know if it works when you plug it in :o)
