I now use gentoo-sources-2.6.14-gentoo-r5 with no problem about alsa. But when i upgrade tot 2.6.15-r1 with make oldconfig etcetera.. and reboot, i can not use alsa anymore. I compile modules in kernel and use only alsa-utils, alsaconf (no problem) but then when i want to use alsamixer, it stops. I can not use alsamixer and with volume control in gnome-2.12.2 is only see a oss mixer and not a alsa mixer anymore. I have tried also alsa-drivers and use de gentoo alsa-guide of the internet. Does anybody has a solution?

Does /proc/asound/cards list your card?
No, see below: # /proc/asound/cards bash: /proc/asound/cards: Permission denied Strange, because i am using kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-sources-r5 and with this kernel all is working well But the card is listed when i do lscpi, see below: # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 645xx (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 04) 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS961/2 SMBus Controller 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] 00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 91) 00:08.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

btw; i am in the audio group, see below: audio:x:18:teun
Sorry my mistake. My soundcard is recognized, see below: teun # cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live [Unknown] SB Live [Unknown] (rev.10, serial:0x80661102) at 0x8800, irq 9 Hope this answered your question.
Is this still an issue with current kernel/alsa-drivers ?
with current alsa packages no issue anymore
