Oh, I see... |

Well, since you have it builtin and everything is working, maybe its |
4 |
dependent on other app, do you have alsa-utils or anything that could |
5 |
pull alsa-drivers? |
6 |
|
7 |
If you have an old installation and (like me) don't remember exactly |
8 |
the steps for the initial configuration (I used alsa-driver, builtin, |
9 |
then removed it lots of times, recompiled the kernel lots, test |
10 |
purposes) then it can be a leftover from a previous config. Now, to |
11 |
determine if you can or can't remove it its up to you, you can always |
12 |
remove it and emerge it again if any problem appear. And if everything |
13 |
fails, you can always remove it from the kernel and emerge alsa-driver |
14 |
