After all, SND_HDA_CORE has little to no reason to be enabled unless your kernel build config asks for SND_HDA or SND_HDA_EXT_CORE (and *that* symbol is 'm', which is why SND_HDA_CORE is also ''m'. Switching EXT_CORE to 'y' will then auto-switch this one to 'y' as well). _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
