Hi all, About year ago I updated my nVidia graphics card. The sound stopped working and it turns out the new card makes it's onboard, HDMI, audio appear before the motherboard sound hence no sound via the 3.5mm jack. I usually have all of my device drivers statically linked, no modules, so to fix this problem, I had to make the sound driver a module and do some blacklisting voodoo. Besides the dodgy workaround, problem fixed.
I'm now in the process of moving from spinning disks to ssd hence have done a total reinstall of Gentoo. After the install, once again I have no sound. Does any one know if in the last year, a nicer way has been found to fix this "problem"? Thoughts greatly appreciated, Andrew
