OK, done, but this is done with each rc-update

0.9.0_rc6 for both and alsa-libs as well.

This produces:

 alsactl: set_control:960: Cannot write control '3:0:0:IEC958 Playback
 Mask:1' : Operation not permitted 

After the following, I get the same error, but alsactl does restore the
volume --- setting.

OK, when I removed amixer and alsasound from the runlevels:

1. When executing alsasound start, I get several lines similar to
/lib/modules/2/4/19-gentoo-r9/kernel/sound/pci/snd-ens1371.o
INIT_MODULE: No such device.  After this, lsmod indicates that no sound
modules are loaded.

2. modprobe snd-ens1371 is successful, and ls mod shows all sound
modules loaded.

3. amixer still indicates that sound is muted.  aplay ..... .wav
produces no sound.

4. alsactl restore produces the error listed above, but sound is
Volume is unmuted, PCM is still muted

5. amixer set PCM 35 unmute. 

6.  aplay .... .wav produces sound.

The above mentioned /lib/modules/ ... does contain snd-ens1371.o and
ac97/snd-ac97-codec.o

 Attached is also my /etc/modules.autoload.

I've temporarily added to local.start

modprobe snd-ens1371
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
/usr/bin/amixer set PCM 40 unmute
