pulseaudio does not detect or attempt to open the first soundcard unless the config is edited. Note that the modifications to ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf are not necessary if Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install pulseaudio with USE="alsa pulseaudio" in make.conf 2. Run pulseaudio Actual Results: Pulseaudio does not detect the first sound card (the built in one) unless you edit /etc/pulse/default.pa or ~/.pulse/default.pa to manually load alsa card drivers Expected Results: Pulseaudio loads the sound card ThunderFox ~ # emerge --info pulseaudio Portage 2.1.9.42 (hardened/linux/x86, gcc-4.4.5, libc-0-r0, 2.6.37-hardened-r7 i686) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.37-hardened-r7-i686-Genuine_Intel-R-_CPU_T2250_@_1.73GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.14 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 07:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.1-r1, 3.1.3-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.14-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.5 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.36.1 sys-libs/glibc: 2.11.3 virtual/os-headers: 0 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/config /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -pipe -ggdb" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs candy distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news nostrip parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo rsync://rsync.gtlib.gatech.edu/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa avahi berkdb bzip2 caps cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cvs cxx dbus dri dvd extras gdbm git gpm hardened iconv ipv6 java joystick kde mercurial mmx mng modules mp3 mplayer mudflap mysql ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin opengl openmp pam pcre perl pic png policykit pppd pulseaudio python qt3support qt4 readline samba semantic-desktop session sql sse sse2 sse3 ssl static-libs subversion svg sysfs tcpd udev unicode urandom webkit x264 x86 xorg zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev joystick keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.22 was built with the following: USE="X alsa asyncns avahi caps dbus glib ipv6 tcpd udev -bluetooth -doc -gnome -jack -libsamplerate -lirc (-oss) -realtime (-system-wide) -test" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--no-as-needed"

"Note that the modifications to ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf are not necessary if" I misread the alsa configuration files so disregard that. Note that a simple `cp /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf /etc/asound.conf` fixes that though.
