[gentoo-user] ALSA issue

[Franta]

Hi, 

I'm back again and immediately have some issues.

ALSA stopped working after some emerge -u world. Maybe something has
changed with ALSA.

While booting I get:

Loading ALSA modules ...
  Loading snd-seq-oss ...   [OK]
  Loading snd-pcm-oss ...   [OK]
Restoring mixer levels ...
/usr/sbin/alsactl: load state:1250: Cannot find soundcard '0' ...
Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring ...
/usr/sbin/alsactl: load state:1250: Cannot find soundcard '1' ...
Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring ...

Sound was working - at least mpeg files were with sound. This started
with an update world somewhen during november last year.

I don't use sound so much but I've started to use ICQ so having it back
on Gentoo too mwould be nice.

Thanks in advance
Frank

check /etc/modules.d/alsa, that's where your soundcard configuration 
lives. If it doesn't contain a matching configuration, enter it 
manually or run alsaconf as root (it's part of alsa-utils).


Best regards

Well, I ran alsaconf just now.

It told me that it cant find neither soundcard 0 nor soundcard 1 during
restoring of the mixer levels.

That's the same behaviour I get during boot.

As I stated in the initial post I had sound. Te only thing changed are
some emerge -u.

Dunno. I have the "great" feeling that this is a system for which I'll
have to follow discussions, read (changing) documentation and so on for
10 hours to have one hour of work with it.

Why the hick things stop working so often?????

Just now I've realized: there is no device in /dev for the soundcard. So
the issues could be in coldplug and in udev too.
