Check the permissions on /dev/dsp. You may need to add your username to
the audio group if you have note already done so.
Also, if the default kernel sound drivers are no good, get a hold of the
alsa drivers. Not sure how gentoo handles these, but in Debian they are
packaged as a separate set of kernel modules. Remember to disable the
default kernel sound modules if you install alsa.
HTH,
