1 My SB Live! 5.1 sang its last note finally, so I'm reverting to the
2 onboard Intel chip. I got my kernel configured already, but when I
3 went to edit make.conf, I became confused on which of the following is
4 correct:
5 ALSA_CARDS="snd-hda-intel"
6 or
7 ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel"
8
9 I googled it and, of course, found examples for both :-/
10
11 I then used 'eix/' to check the alsa packages and didn't see either form.
12
13 Which is correct?
14
15 On a side note, is it even needed since I run a monolithic kernel?
