Until that moment I= =20 had it build in the kernel. I remember raising a bug, only to be told that= I=20 should rebuild my kernel with alsa drivers as modules, because alsaconf sho= uld=20 be able to probe them. Indeed, the Gentoo Alsa Guide still says pretty much the same thing: "Please note that for ease of use, all examples show ALSA built as modules.= It=20 is advisable to follow the same as it then allows the use of alsaconf which= is=20 a boon when you want to configure your card." I've added some options for my alsa modules in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.co= nf,=20 e.g.: options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=3D1 HTH. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1403738.fVzFoVgn9u Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk1hBIsACgkQVTDTR3kpaLbbUwCfQappLfyIZsquFk6/z4+uxTUP dC0AniBElNb0vEBV6zFN8jeQhuvmEu6F =BYqD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1403738.fVzFoVgn9u--
