17 Another search on Goggle finally found something, but I'm not sure I
18 like it. My card shows up in "lspci -v" as...

20 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)

31 One solution I've seen involves modprobing the sound driver with a
32 parameter. Problem is I've been using kernel-mode alsa for years and
33 I'm an absolute newbie on "alsa-driver". alsa-driver is keyworded
34 ~amd64 but I'm desparate enough to try it. Maybe even desparate enough
35 to try the other solution, namely revert to OSS.
36
37 If I want to keyword alsa-driver and install it, I assume that I have
38 to remove all kernel support for sound, i.e in "make menuconfig"...

42 Is that correct? Also, what should I specify in ALSA_CARDS in
43 /etc/make.conf ?
