[gentoo-user] Alsa daemon won't start

[Antonio Souto]

My alsa (which used to work ok) refuses to start with the message:

$  /etc/init.d/alsasound start
 * Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)...
 * Loading ALSA modules ...                                               [ ok ]
 * Restoring Mixer Levels ...
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:894: warning: name mismatch (Headphone Jack Sense/External Amplifier) for control #29
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:896: warning: index mismatch (0/0) for control #29
/usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:873: failed to obtain info for control #30 (No such file or directory)                               [ !! ]

I tried reemerging alsa-utils alsa-lib and alsa-headers but the problem persists...

I don't know when it began because it is unusual for me to restart my computer.
I have never edited any config file since using alasmixer was sufficient to make my sound card work fine.
It seems to me some upgrade has broken something.
