Oh, is that all you meant? Well, of course ALSA is enabled in the kernel, everything is just as described in the Gentoo link you sent me. So, I'm back to my original problem - I compiled a new 3.x kernel, and now there's no sound, ALSA doesn't seem to be working at all. "No devices found." I know it's not the kernel's fault, because I have taken it and installed it into a different version of Puppy with a newer kernel, and it works fine. (Only that version of Puppy doesn't do JACK or realtime recording.) So the kernel I compiled is fine. I thought maybe it had to do with an older version of ALSA installed on the OS, so I was going to reinstall ALSA from source, but alas, ALSA drivers sources for 3.x don't exist apparently. What do I do? This is probably an easy fix for the right knowledgeable person. Help! Le Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:17:51 -0700, Frank Mackenzie <frank.mackenzie@xxxxxxx> a écrit : > Thanks for the reply.

Select everything you need as module. It is an example here for gentoo, but it can be helpful for other distributions as well: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml Into the kernel sources, the ALSA doc is in Documentation/sound/alsa Of course, the alsa-driver package must not be installed for this kernel. > On 12-01-11 12:37 PM, Dominique Michel wrote: >> Le Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:52:59 -0700, >> Frank Mackenzie<frank.mackenzie@xxxxxxx> a écrit : >> >>> Hey everybody! >>> >>> I use Lucid Puppy 520 on my home computer, and have recently >>> installed kernel jernel..
