Hi Dubphil. That isn't working. I added the bit to /etc/make.conf. Then
emerged alsa-drivers alsa-tools alsa-utils. Complained it couldn't find
drivers. Probably because they're part of the kernel. So ran emerge
alsa-tools alsa-utils, but no progress with this problem. I really do think
it is a kernel problem. Thanks anyway. Nigel.

Hi Lee. Thanks
for the reply. I was sort of half expecting someone to say
recompile the kernel, when I saw that commented out snd-usb-audio module
in
the kernel config file. The only kernel compile I've attempted is to get
Gentoo off the ground, which failed. Gentoo with system emerged stayed on
the
drive to sweat it out (minus kernel) for 5 weeks. Got myself psyched up
the
other day to have another go, and went for Genkernel. At least the system
is
now up and running, but 30hrs of DL and compile to get KDE installed.
I'll get some info on compiling amother kernel, it's not so bad now I've
got Gentoo up and running. If it don't work I can revert to the original
without
losing access to the system.
Don't bother recompile your kernel it is better to do this :
Just add this line in /etc/make.conf :
ALSA_CARDS="usb-audio"
and type this :
# emerge alasa-drivers alsa-tools alsa-utils
and you will be okay :)
