Gentoo下配置ALSA

This article describes How to enable the ALSAKernel ConfigureThe sections relevant to ALSA are in Device Drivers >> Sound.
Here's what you need at the top level. Some of you might be thinking
"Hey, those look like the default settings", and you would be correct!
But if you may have already made changes, here's how things should be:
Linux Kernel Configuration: Sound
*> Sound card support
   Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
   Open Sound System --->
Then under Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->:
Linux Kernel Configuration: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
*> Sequencer support
  > Sequencer dummy client
*> OSS Mixer API
*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API

OSS Sequencer API
[ ] Verbose printk
[ ] Debug Generic devices --->
    ISA devices --->
    PCI devices --->
    USB devices --->
Next, we must enable the correct driver. For most of us, will be under
"PCI devices", but if you are using an ISA or USB audio card go to the
appropriate section.
If you are unsure which driver to select, see the
Alsa Soundcard Matrix
.
If you can't tell which item in menuconfig matches up with the driver
name from alsa-project.org, press "?" with one selected to get more
info on which cards it supports and the module name.

ReInstall Kernel
Once you have made the necessary changes in menuconfig, exit and save.
build the kernel with
#make && make modules_install
Then mount the sda1 to the /boot directory , and copy the new bzImage into it.
# mount /dev/sda1 /boot
#Think_Squall_Caro linux
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/
Then reboot you computer
Verify Driver
Once you have booted your newly built kernel, you should make sure you enabled the correct driver. Simply run:
# cat /proc/asound/cards
Your output should be something like this:
0 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xf5000000 irq 17
If you have no soundcards listed, you didn't enable the correct driver.
Go back to step 1 and try again. If your card is listed, continue!
Set PermissionUntil you add your users to the "audio" group, they will be unable to
use the sound card. My user is "ben", so I add him to the audio group
like this:
# gpasswd -a squall audio
PS:If you are already logged into the user you
are adding to the new group, you will need to log in freshly for it to
take effect.
Necessary SoftwareBy default, your sound will be muted. To unmute, we need alsamixer,
which is part of the media-sound/alsa-utils package. Emerge it now:
# emerge alsa-utils
Now run alsamixer. The important channels are Master and PCM, you
should unmute each of them with "M" then turn them up to 70% or so.
When done, hit "esc" to leave alsamixer.
At this point, alsa should be functioning. So fire up your favorite
multimedia app with alsa support, and give it a go. My favorite is
mplayer, its console output is very verbose and great for making sure
alsa is functioning properly. If your applications have not been
compiled with alsa support, you should add alsa to your USE flags in
/etc/make.conf and use emerge --newuse --update world to rebuild them.
Unless you set it up to save your mixer settings, your sound card will
be muted every time you reboot. You can solve this by using the
"alsasound" init script. Among other things, alsasound restores your
mixer settings when you boot up and saves them when you shut down.
First save your current mixer settings with /etc/init.d/alsasound save
then add it to your default or boot runlevel so it'll automatically
start (and restore your settings) at boot:
# rc-update add alsasound boot
