Hi! I'm having this error on boot of my gentoo 2004.1:

* ALSA Detected...
* Restoring Mixer Levels
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_controls:986: snd_ctl_open error: No such file or directory

I'm currently using linux kernel 2.6.7 and udev-025-r1 (this happened with various versions of udev and linux).

I have my soundcard drivers as modules btw

Can anybody help me with this issue?

Thanx in advance

yeah.

i even installed ~x86 versions of both packages but it was of no good use.

my /etc/modules.d/alsa:

Code:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
   alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
options snd cards_limit=1


btw i use the gnome-alsamixer program to define volume levels in the gnome environment.

thanx

yep...perfectly

i did a
Code:

rc-update del alsasound boot

followed by a
Code:

rc-update add alsasound default


and it seems to work now...i can't be sure cause sometimes it works normally and in the others it fails randomly...

and now, because of the
Code:
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart


i noted that the modules:

* snd-mixer-oss
* snd-pcm-oss
* snd-seq-oss

were being reloaded.

However my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 only had:

* snd-intel8x0
* snd-mixer-oss
* snd-pcm-oss

Now with snd-seq-oss appended to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 , ALSA seems to be doing fine enabling volume levels on boot runlevel...let's see if it doesn't fail anymore...

thanx u all
