After emerging an correctly setting up alsa-driver and alsa-util I tried to used the /etc/init.d/alsasound in the boot runlevel. All ALSA drivers where correctly loaded for my audio card (SB Live) but the snd-emu10k1 (and maybe the sequencers after it). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have correct hw installed. 2. emerge alsa-driver and alsa-utils 3. modules-update with correct config 4. rc-update add alsasound boot 5. restart, view startup logs Actual Results: Failed to load correct module for my soundcard. Below is the alsasound that I have setup for debug that I use. This works on my machine.

try the new init script located here: /usr/portage/media-sound/alsa-utils/files/alsasound No need to re-emerge the package just for the init script. Also, please provide your /etc/modules.d/alsa file
