The next code listing gives you one way of performing the checks. 1. CONFIG_SOUND is set. (Basic Sound support enabled) 2. CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME is not set. (In-built OSS support disabled) 3. CONFIG_SND is not set. (In-built ALSA support disabled) 4. /usr/src/linux points to the kernel you want ALSA working on." If you use the kernel ALSA support, even in module form, you cannot use the alsa-driver ebuild. HTH, Matt -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
