Hi,

 recently I did a "emerge -e system; emerge -e world".

 Apart from some applications, which dont want to compile with
 the new system -- now based on gcc-4.1.1 -- everything works fine.
 
 (Before emergeing I did a full image backup of the "old" system on
 another harddisk of the same model (dd ...).  )

 But I have no sound anymore...

 I checked for the follwing:
 PC-BIOS: Onboard sound is enabled.
 diffing old and new etc: Inserting alsa devices again with
 /etc/modules.d/alsa
 Volume is up (alsamixer and speakers)
 Speakers have power and ready to play.
 Plug is connected to the correct "outlet" (weong word?...sorry I am
                                            only german...)

 Apps, which need output of sound (kaffeine, mplayer...) seem not to
 miss anything (no "Permission denied" or "/dev/* : No such device).
 and act normally -- with no sound at all.

 I am a little desperate here, since I simply do not see, what is
 going wrong.

 Any help to solve the riddle is very appreciated.
 Thank you *very* much.

 Keep hacking!
