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...) lspci: solfire:/home/mccramer>lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

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.
