Hi there i'm using gentoo.
I originally had the alsa-driver package installed but the sound didn't work.I then un-installed alsa-driver and rebuilt the kernel following the gentoo alsa guide.Now when i start alsa it does atsrt but i get this error message:

Code:

Loading driver...
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ...

Will re-compiling my kernel , but instead of building sound card support as a module build it in the kernel, help?

Um, well did the module compile? My guess is that the soundcore module is compiled with a different source than the kernel. Which may mean that you are still booting into the old kernel you were using before and not the new kernel you just made. Gentoo uses Grub, right? Check that and see if you are booting into the new kernel.
