It's been a long time since I've posted here. This time it won't be a cryptic and deeply specific GPU thing.
In the past on all my machines my experience with sound on gentoo was very painless and quite amazing: enable snd_hda, enable the right card, install alsa and I didn't even need to play with asound.conf it just worked out of the box.
But this time, I have a quite simple setup which I know is supported (viewtopic-t-1099046-start-0.html)
My machine has two sound devices:
A GPU with HDMI output (which I do *not* want).
A motherboard embeded which lspci -k report as:

18:00.6 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 17h/19h HD Audio Controller
DeviceName: Realtek ALC1220
Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device ed70
I'm relatively sure my kernel configuration should be okay with this but but because it will probably get asked I here is my cat .config | grep SND

Because I want only one I don't think CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG is important but I tried with and without, it didn't help me.
I've seen CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE was 0 by default. I've seen some config with my sound card using 3072. I tried in doubt but it also didn't help.
I don't have any asound.conf. I never actually needed any and I'm quite sure it doesn't matter in my case. It seems to break *before*.
Here is my symptoms:
first when I /etc/init.d/alsasound restart it's (very) slow (like takes 15 seconds) and give me:
Code: Select all
* Storing ALSA Mixer Levels ... [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ...
alsactl: snd_card_iterator_sinit:257: Cannot find soundcard '1'...
* Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring
During boot amixer also complains that "Unable to find simple control 'PCM' 0" during OpenRC (after a somewhat long pause of a couple of seconds).
aplay -L give me:
Code: Select all
null
Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0
HD-Audio Generic, Generic Digital
HDMI Audio Output
and /sys/class/sound/card0/id just show "Generic"
Last but not least dmesg | grep snd -i give me something interesting but I'm not sure I understand what it tries to tell me:

If someone has a bit of a clue on what I should try it would be lovely.
