Are you sure that your sound module is compiled ? What the result of 
lsmod ? No error message if you do a modprobe snd-intel8x0 ? Did you put 
the ALSA_CARDS = "intel8x0 virmidi" in your /etc/make.conf before 
emerging alsa driver ?
For specific questions about gentoo, and if you decide to do serious 
audio work, take a look to the Proaudio overlay and subscribe to the 
list, people are great.
