Bug 110290 – alsactl error message during boot

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Henrik R. Nagel 2005-10-23 23:36:58 UTC]

I always receive the following error message during boot:

/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:994: bad control.7.value type

I have only sound enabled in the kernel. Alsa comes from the packages:

* media-sound/alsa-driver
* media-sound/alsa-headers
* media-sound/alsa-tools
* media-sound/alsa-utils

I have recompiled the kernel and recompiled "alsa-driver" and "alsa-utils", but
still receive the error message. However, alsa works without any problems after
boot.
