Hi Stephen, > Just a quick question.... Did you compile your kernel with the CS46XX as > a module? This may be a kernel issue rather than a sound issue. > Stephen. When I installed the card and booted my machine, yesterday, the OS found a driver 'cs46xx', so it was already there (whether in the kernel or as a module, I don't know). Then after that I compiled all the alsa stuff (drivers, lib, utils) and tried to load modules. Sorry about my lack of knowledge about the kernel. How do I find out how cs46xx was compiled?
