On this website:

you can find plenty possible ways to do it.

 That is likely a problem with the dump of the ALSA state. Remove the file
 /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and run /etc/rc.d/alsa stop after that. Then
 the current state is dumped into a fresh file and the error should be gone.

This solved my ALSA problem. Thanks.

He is looking for the error output of the scripts that are executed 
while booting. In his case it is the output of alsactl which is called 
in /etc/rc.d/alsa. That stuff is only printed to the terminal and does 
not go to the kernel ring buffer.

ok I will backup /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and try it. I guess arch
should have a boot log. It is something every OS should have IMHO.

 Hi,
 I had similar problem some time ago. My problem was with the general
 alsa settings file that after an update had some problems. Maybe there
 were some problems between versions. I solved this in two diferent
 computers just reestaring the deamon:

 $sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart

 No errors when starting the PC anymore. By the way I was never able to
 find any place where to look to the exact error and its appearance in
 the screen was to quick. I think was something about alsactl command.

The error is actually something about HDA-intel not found and some
control nos like #13, #14, #15 etc cant be found or adjusted.
Something like that. I am not sure.

There is none, but you can disable the terminal on the first tty in 
/etc/inittab.
