Right now mixer
shows the onboard sound as the sound device.
How do I switch it
to the head set?
Thanks,

What do you mean by environment, and by drivers do you mean loaded
modules?*

environment as in desktop environment (kde, gnome, something else...),
mainly so others can see if you are using a mixer that plays nicely
with other stuff you have running

drivers as in which drivers is your kernel using to address the audio
hardware. It sometimes is useful to note if they are modules or
compiled-in, but don't omit one class

Your original question is not really answerable due to lack of data, you
have basically asked one of those "how long is a bit of string?"
questions. Are you new to gentoo? If so, it's good to say so. Then
other people on the list know how complicated they can make the
answer :-)

I use ALSA for sound. The program alsamixer takes an argument '-c' and
then a number, indicating which of those devices which are available to
ALSA you want to adjust volume levels for.
