Did as you suggested and removed alsa from the kernel and compiled alsa-driver |
| 58 |
but It didn't work. The only thing that changed was the name of the chip it |
| 59 |
detected, same as yours. I still only have Master with alsamixer and no |
| 60 |
sound not even quitely I'm using kernel 2.6.17-r8 and the 1.0.13 versions of |
| 61 |
alsa |
