Like you, I used to build the lot into the kernel for years and it worked fine. Suddenly it stopped. With no other discernible changes at the time to blame for this I raised a bug. The devs recommended that I should build alsa as modules and that fixed the problem. I haven't yet tried to go back to building it all in the kernel to see if it would still work. -- Regards, Mick
