Re: [gentoo-user] alsa-driver emerge error

[Daniel da Veiga <danieldaveiga@gmail.com>]

In order to use alsa-driver, you must not have alsa compiled in the
kernel, I dunno exactly how you got this error using alsa already if
everything was working before (unless you changed any settings on your
kernel config). Enable only the audio support, compile modules for
your sound-cards and let alsa-driver do the rest.
