That's interesting. I didn't know one could use pulseaudio with ALSA left |

out. |

I set the global USE flag to '-alsa' in '/etc/portage/make.conf' and ran |
12 |
'emerge -aU' to see what would be pulled in/unmerged. Here's a list of |
13 |
packages emerge wanted to pull in: |

I did not make any changes to alsa, or pulse audio that I'm aware of. Just |
63 |
been pulling in whatever updates portage had for me on a regular bases. |
64 |
Running a 4.4.0-vanilla kernel on all my systems, so that can't be the |
65 |
culprit. |

'/var/log/dmesg' has this: |

While 'aplay -l | grep HDA' says this: |
