Sabayon Linux comes with alsa built into the kernel. You can’t install the alsa-drivers while alsa is built into the kernel. You have to remove alsa from the kernel before you install the alsa-driver package. So su to root: • cd /usr/src/linux • make menuconfig • Now deselect ALSA and exit the menu • Run: make && make modules_install • Run: cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel_name <--replace kernel_name with the actual name of kernel • Reboot • emerge alsa-driver when back to desktop • More info: Gentoo ALSA Guide.
