I have tried this several times now and I am still getting the same error... I edited... /var/tmp/portage/portage/alsa-driver-1.0.8/work/alsa-driver-1.0.8/alsa-kernel/usb/Kconfig and absolutely have only "depends on SND && USB" and then I do... aclocal autoconf ./configure --with-cards=usb-usx2y ... checking for which soundcards to compile driver for... configure: error: Unsupported soundcard usb-usx2y I've tried "usbusx2y" and just usx2y and usb_usx2y etc. Any more clues for the clueless ? --markc
