I booted from live USB since it was a quicker method and: "dmesg |grep -i codec" showed me: CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK Thank you all it was a quick solution. -- Thelma

Or you can boot from a live CD that works with your sound card and see which modules it uses for it, using dmesg and lspci -k. That saves rebuilding your kernel again. -- Neil Bothwick What do you have when you have six lawyers buried up to their necks in sand?

You could use Google to find out which kernel module is required for your hardware; or, quicker and potentially more accurate would be to set up *every* driver as a module in your kernel and reboot. The correct module will be loaded and will show up in dmesg and lsmod. Then you can deselect the rest and rebuild your kernel. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
