43 Why are you loading the module in local.start? Normally that is done by the alsasound service. You should probably go through the alsa guide and make sure you've done everything there: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml You can use the alsa-driver ebuild to rebuild your alsa drivers if necessary.
