Same thing happened here, I used to build support for my sound card into |
41 |
the kernel but it stopped working a few months ago. Rebuilding the |
42 |
kernel without the built-in sound drivers and using the modules instead |
43 |
works now. ISTR that years ago it was the opposite, which is why I got |
44 |
in the habit of building kernels with alsa drivers built-in. |
45 |
|
46 |
The odd thing is I didn't see any news about it, nor was the internet |
47 |
packed with people suddenly having alsa problems, so I never knew what |
48 |
exactly happened. |
