I noticed the OP is using a 2.6.13 kernel. I have had problems using |
| 25 |
modules with this kernel where they worked in a 2.6.12 kernel. For |
| 26 |
example, I could not get agp/dri working when compiled as modules. Once |
| 27 |
I compiled them in the kernel itself, it worked. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
So, when I couldn't get alsa modules to load after upgrading to 2.6.13 |
| 30 |
kernel, I tried the above trick. That did it for me. When alsa was |
| 31 |
compiled in kernel, not as modules nor with the alsa-driver ebuild, |
| 32 |
sound started working. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I think there is something that changed in 2.6.13 that has affected |
| 35 |
modules. I haven't researched anymore as my work-around has me happy |
| 36 |
for now. |
