Here is a part of the problem:
$ dmesg | grep -i snd
[ 5.501289] snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'
[ 5.521068] snd: Unknown parameter `device_mode'
[ 5.548879] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_register
[ 5.549233] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_create_module_entry
[ 5.549514] snd_timer: Unknown symbol snd_info_free_entry

It says there's a 'device_mode' parameter that is trying to be set, but it
is invalid. According to [1], [2], [3], and [4] there's something in
/etc/modprobe.d/* that's trying to set it. It has been fixed in most
distros.
You'll need to find what's trying to load alsa with the 'device_mode'
parameter and fix it.
hth,

Yup. /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf. Did it.
Thanks.
