Please provide more info: version of all alsa packages, output of "emerge info", and a list of loaded modules (lsmod).

still broken in -r4

Try looking in /etc/modules.conf for the name of the module that alsa is looking for, then compare that to /lib/modules/2.4.xx-gentoo-sources/kernel/drivers/sound.  I found that alsa is looking for snd-[soundcard] whereas the modules name was just [soundcard].o .  Removing the snd- part made it load right for me.

--Note, I am using ac-sources so this may be slightly off

Can we confirm this with any of the latest 2.4.20 releases or the 2.4.22 release?

[Comment 8 Russell smith 2003-12-12 19:11:21 UTC]

Working with 2.4.20-gentoo-r9
Sorry, forgot all about filing this bug
