dmesg returns stuff like this snd_ioctl32: Unknown symbol snd_pcm_hw_params all other sound modules are being loaded I have sound in all of my 32bit games (nwn, doom3) so I don't really know if this is a serious problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

If the problem still exists, try uninstalling alsa-drivers and compile ALSA into kernel (genkernel --menuconfig all).
Uhm I don't have this module with alsa 1.0.9, and I have no problem with 32-bit apps like skype nor with unreal tournament. Please make sure that you start with a clean module directory (no alsa modules built from kernel).
I believe snd_ioctl32 was removed with 1.09...
Mixed modules make bad jokes.
Mixing modules is a bad idea, but, actually this is, I believe, alsa-driver installation bug. For me snd_ioctl32 module was left behind from the previous alsa-driver installation when I emerged alsa-driver-1.0.9b
Moreover /etc/init.d/alsasound script form alsa-utils-1.0.9a does try to load snd_ioctl32 :)
