I have esperienced your problem; in my case it was caused by the lack of
a var, and that that caused the mixer not to load the previously saved
settings.
1. Specifically in /etc/conf.d/alsasound I had to add this lines
RESTORE_ON_START="yes"
SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"
that referes to the mixer setup saving and restoring.
2. In make.conf see if the var
ALSA_CARDS="ens1371"
3. Be sure the correct module is loaded; use the alsa daemon or put the
module in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
using "cat snd-ens1371 >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6"
(alsa daemon is preferred by me because it saves at 'stop' and restores
at 'start') the mixer level.

I just finished running 'emerge -uD world' and everything seemed to go
okay. At least in the end it seemed to. I did have some troubles
with spamassassin and a couple of other strange dependencies which
were not dealt with automatically, but google and archives of such
lists as this helped in those areas. But, now I am having all sorts
of strange trouble with alsa.
When I rebooted I found that my old alsa setup was not working. There
was nothing in dmesg about alsa but I saw an alsasound error zoom by
on bootup. I couldn't read it unfortunately. So I ran alsaconf again
figuring that would take care of things but it did not. I got the
expected offer of ens1371 but then I was asked if I wanted to adjust
/etc/modules.d/alsa or such but not with the correct module,
snd-ens1371, but instead something like snd-*** and liblow. It then
shot up a brief error, too fast to read again, and then exited. No
alsamixer of course.
It now does not give me this, or I would give a more exact quote, but
it still gives an error and offers no sound. I can modprobe for
snd-ens1371 and adjust the mixer manually, but I cannot get any sound
to work at boot and am not sure where to begin. I tried editing the
/etc/modules.d/alsa file manually but that did not help.
Any ideas? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Patrick
