After updating my Gentoo boxes this week, I no longer have sound after rebooting. I haven't managed to identify which update caused this, so apologies it this report is a bit vague. The boxes are an AMD64 + emu10k1, Athlon XP + via82xx and Pentium 4 + intel_8x0; all are using their respective unstable portage tree, and all have the same problem. The sound modules are loaded correctly, but the /dev/sound and /dev/snd entries are missing. This can be corrected by running "udevstart", followed by "alsactl restore -f /etc/asound.state" to restore the mixer levels. This suggests the problem is with the start up sequence - baselayout problem? I currently have the following runlevel settings for relevant services: alsasound: default coldplug: boot (was default, but apparently this isn't recommended now) hotplug: default hald: default Any ideas?
