That makes it even more weird then. I update at least on each number |
| 35 |
upgrade, 35, 36, 37 etc. I don't think I have ever missed a version. I |
| 36 |
never had sound problems like this. Right now, I'm on this kernel: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
root@fireball / # uname -r |
| 39 |
2.6.37-gentoo-r1 |
| 40 |
root@fireball / # |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I have to say tho, sound is one of those things that gets weird. Being |
| 43 |
muted is a big thing people miss but it seems sound comes up pretty |
| 44 |
often, about like video issues with drivers. It just makes me wonder. |
| 45 |
I use the same chip, no problems. You have ran into problems in the |
| 46 |
past and changing to modules fixed it. I have never used modules for |
| 47 |
sound or anything else. What a head scratcher. :/ |

|
| 49 |
Just plain weird. |
