I suspect you simply typod something, or that your new kernel |

introduced an incompatibility with alsa-drivers-1.0.11 and the failure |

is not the same message, but something else. intel8x0 is definitely |

a recognized sound card option for alsa-drivers: |

Well, it isn't so much a matter of "have to", but you probably "want |
31 |
to". The advantages of the in-kernel drivers are a bit easier |
32 |
configuration since you can just select the driver you want in the |
33 |
menuconfig/xconfig interface, and you never have to worry about any |
34 |
incompatiblity between the kernel and the drivers. There is always a |
35 |
risk when you upgrade kernel versions that the new kernel will change |
36 |
something that breaks out-of-tree drivers. Such breakage usually |
37 |
appears as a failure in the compile the new drivers. |
38 |
|
39 |
For pretty much any driver that has versions both in-tree and |
40 |
out-of-tree, I recommend using the in-tree version if possible. |
