I think we missed each other with the point though, currently my sound |
| 4 |
works just fine and I am happy with it as it is [ie. built in] I am |
| 5 |
not sure where the alsa driver in "world" came from unless it is a |
| 6 |
hangover from my initial genkernel instalation. |
| 7 |
I would like to remove this package from my system simply because I |
| 8 |
"think" I dont need it, this being the bit I am not sure about. |
| 9 |
I am afraid that there are two things on linux that I have never got |
| 10 |
on well with, sound and optical drives. :) |
