This is weird.  After running alsaconf, there should be 
an /etc/modules.d/alsa file created with the line "alias snd-card-0 
snd-intel8x0" in it.  You should've done "rc-update add alsasound 
default" so that the alsasound script starts up at boot.  Also, check 
in /etc/conf.d/alsasound to make sure that the thing isn't being muted 
on boot.  I have had absolutely no problems with sound on my Gentoo 
T42p so I don't know exactly where else to look here.
