Did you recently remove the drivers for your audio from your kernel?
try running alsaconf and paste the output here.
also paste your drivers section of your kernel config |

Is this a manual or genkernel kernel?
It seems you don't have the drivers you need as either modules or compiled in to your kernel. |

first you need to select your profile
eselect profile list
then emerge -uDpv world
(no question mark)
that is a preview of the updates you will emerge.
to actually emerge them,
emerge -uD world |

I will get back to you with the results
I seem to have blocked packages.

Is it safe to remove them then remerge ?
