Sound card problem

[grayhat]

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

what driver to use ?

I have the same sound card.

You need "snd-hda-intel" built into your kernel or as a module.

I would suggest building it as a module, and then doing this:

# emerge alsa-utils
# alsaconf

And then just answer the questions it asks.

Or, if you didn't build it into the kernel, you could use the alsa-drivers package.
