I'm using the alsa-driver-1.0.11 package as the alternative to the inbuilt kernel modules. According to this site: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml I want CONFIG_SND off, since I am using the package. 1. CONFIG_SOUND is set. (Basic Sound support enabled) 2. CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set. (In-built OSS support disabled) 3. CONFIG_SND is not set. (In-built ALSA support disabled) 4. /usr/src/linux points to the kernel you want ALSA working on. Either way, I get the same behavior if I go with alsa-driver-1.0.11 or if I turn on the inbuilt ALSA module. However, for debugging purposes, I have chosen to go with the alsa-driver package (1.0.11 in this case, see my previous emails on why 1.0.11 rather than 1.0.13) rather than the inbuilt kernel modules. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume I SHOULD NOT have CONFIG_SND set if I am using the alsa-driver package?
