Subject: [gentoo-user] Which sound codecs do I need?
Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:35:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111012233555.GA8987@waltdnes.org> (raw)

  I'm installing Gentoo on an older Intel Core2 Duo machine from Dell
for some testing.  Checking with "lspci -v" from the install CD shows...

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
     Subsystem: Dell Inspiron 530
     Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 43
     Memory at fdff4000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
     Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
     Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
     Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
     Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
     Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link
     Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
     Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

  In "make menuconfig" I get a whole slew of codecs, i.e...

CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054

  The only one I'm confident eliminating is CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
due to the help saying "Say Y here to include HDMI and DisplayPort
HD-audio codec".  This is an older machine, and doesn't have a card or
chip with HDMI and/or DisplayPort.
