Well, I was doing an 'emerge sync' and 'emerge world' after that, which tried to emerge of some packages which are related to alsa. However all of them except alsa-driver-1.0.6a (already installed and functional version is 1.0.5a) with the following error: --snip-- checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Uns rted soundcard ens1371 !!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.6a failed. !!! Function econf, Line 362, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed --snip-- Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "ALSA_CARDS=\"ens1371\"" >> /etc/make.conf 2. emerge alsa-driver Actual Results: media-libs/alsa-driver-1.0.6a does not compile as it was supposed to, because it doesn't seem to like my ens1371 soundcard anymore. Expected Results: media-libs/alsa-driver-1.0.6a should have compiled correctly to continue working with my ens1371 like soundcard. sodium root # emerge -pv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies *** Package in world file is not installed: app-emulation/winex-cvs ...done!

Dman I found what was wrong. I once deleted any kernel sources from /usr/src/ and as a consequence I had to re-merge gentoo-sources again to get some alsa-related packages to merge properly. However I just copied my old config from /boot/ to /usr/src/linux/.config and did not run "make dep". After I did that and "make modules modules_install" for the other modules, alsa-driver merged as it should. Sorry for wasting your time!
