I also use a Mac (though a different model). My suggestions might be naive, but did you be sure to do all the following? # emerge alsa-util alsa oss # alsaconf # /etc/init.d/alsasound start # rc-update add alsasound default If you don't run alsaconf, it won't work...I had that problem for a few days in 2007.
