Compiling a custom kernel loses the ALSA drivers. I have spent 10 months without sound ( VIA8237 ) on my machine because ALSA would not work. I have discovered while working on another machine that compiling and installing a new version of your compiler will wipe out your ALSA drivers. That is not something that would be obvious nor expected. The documentation should definitely warn in INSTALL, such as >>> Compile and install ALSA drivers after customizing your kernel. Install of kernel modules will wipe out your ALSA driver modules as it seems to clean the entire kernel modules directory of everything. If you change a kernel config and reinstall your kernel modules, you will have to reinstall ALSA again afterwards! If anyone knows otherwise on this, please post a reply.
