Subject: [gentoo-user] Which sound codecs do I need?

1 I'm installing Gentoo on an older Intel Core2 Duo machine from Dell
2 for some testing. Checking with "lspci -v" from the install CD shows...
3
4 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
5 Subsystem: Dell Inspiron 530
6 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 43
7 Memory at fdff4000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
8 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
9 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
10 Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
11 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
12 Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link
13 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
14 Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

16 In "make menuconfig" I get a whole slew of codecs, i.e...
17
18 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK
19 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG
20 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL
21 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA
22 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
23 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS
24 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT
25 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110
26 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA
27 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054
28
29 The only one I'm confident eliminating is CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
30 due to the help saying "Say Y here to include HDMI and DisplayPort
31 HD-audio codec". This is an older machine, and doesn't have a card or
32 chip with HDMI and/or DisplayPort.
