[mythtv-users] New Gentoo Myth Install - No Sound

[Mark Emery]

Hi,

I'm running FC3, so the package names may well be different.
I could set mixer levels, had /dev/dsp, etc. but had the same problem re no 
sound.

It turned out I only had alsa-utils install and was missing alsa-driver. I'd 
do a double check of the Gentoo ALSA packages. alsa-tools sounds much like 
alsa-utils.

Regards,
Mark
