I do have the 'alsa' USE flag set on pulseaudio.

Re: [gentoo-user] sound stopped working [media-sound/pulseaudio-7.1]
I use pulseaudio without ALSA, for what it's worth. I also don't use VLC or mplayer.

Have you looked at dmesg and/or any ALSA logs to see why ALSA-related stuff can't be initialized? Intel hardware and drivers have always treated me well, so this is strange. Alec P.S. Is there a particular reason you are using pulseaudio as a layer above ALSA? If not, you might just use PA in my opinion.
[gentoo-user] sound stopped working [media-sound/pulseaudio-7.1]
Recently, sound has stopped working on one of my Gentoo systems. I have checked the kernel, package and pulseaudio set-ups across all of my systems in an attempt to pin down the problem, but so far to no avail. The sound works fine on the other systems I have. Hopefully, someone on the list will shed some light on what might be the problem, or how to further troubleshoot it.
