<alsa.conf> (generated by alsaconf)
Gentoo's alsa-guide.xml is outdated and is incorrectly suggesting the use of alsaconf
When in reality alsaconf doesn't work at all with sys-apps/kmod because it doesn't generate 'modules.pcimap' and 'modules.usbmap' files anymore
And in version 1.0.27 of alsa-utils in ~arch the command is no longer being installed
So whatever you do, forget about `alsaconf` right from the start, since it's no longer required with modern PCI, USB, ... cards because sys-fs/udev automatically loads the required drivers The `alsaconf` command has been useful only for old PCMCIA and ISA cards for years already
Instead you don't do anything else than unmute the mixers using alsamixer, and leave the module loading to udev
As in, edit/write /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf by hand only if you need to pass some options to the modules
