I ran into a similar problem after an update. audacious and mpg123 which use ALSA, died; Realplayer and mpg321 get by with the OSS api on ALSA. revdep-rebuild didn't find anything wrong.
I tried various things without success. What finally worked was the following... 1) rebuild the kernel with sound support but no ALSA support at all 2) reboot 3) add the appropriate ALSA_CARDS line to /etc/make.conf, in your case ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" 4) emerge alsa-driver (and it probably still won't work) 5) emerge -C alsa-driver 6) rebuild the kernel with sound support and ALSA support 7) reboot 8) run alsaconf After this sequence, my ALSA sound finally started working again. I don't know what happened. A wild guess is that "make" was trying to "be efficient" and kept some code from a previous version, that doesn't work with the current version. It had to be totally removed in order to get "make" to build the new version of the code. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 Q.
