speakers have no sound in Gentoo, but work in Ubuntu
Hi, my laptop(Dell1400)'s speakers never work in Gentoo(headphones can
work). But server days ago, I installed Ubuntu and I found that the
speakers work(headphones also work)!
I thought the alsa-driver could not drive my sound card properly
before, and now, I think there must be some way since Ubuntu can work.

How to let my speakers work in Gentoo?
Any help will be very appreciated!

speakers have no sound in Gentoo, but work in Ubuntu
Almost all snd-hda-intel sound cards need quirks added to /etc/modules.d/alsa
Under the auto-generated configuration add:
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-3stack
Once that is done, save the file and run:
update-modules
Once that has completed (you may need to update-modules --force if it complains). Simply reboot the computer or restart the alsasound service. Note, some programs/applets using ALSA may crash if you unload/reload the sound card.

Hi, thanks for your help!

It works! I have tried :
options snd_hda_intel model=mbp3
and
options snd_hda_intel model=dell-3stack #I got it from Brian Johnson
Both of them works, but I can't tell the difference between them.
So is there any more tips and tricks? Maybe I can optimize it.
Besides, now hda_intel works both in kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25

Here is the output of running alsa-info.sh in my Gentoo after I add
the line "options snd_hda_intel model=dell-3stack" :
http://pastebin.ca/1060228
And the output in Ubuntu is here: http://pastebin.ca/1060247
I can see some differences especially the "Modprobe options".

Yeah, it's very weird - It changed the theme of my Xfce and when I
enter the "Xfce Setting Manager", the original theme return back, even
although I had not actually done setting yet.
