one more thing:
reading the alsa docs, there is the following:
-----------------------------------
You must turn on the sound support soundcore module. This is in the kernel.
Look in the sound drivers directory and it should be the first option. Most
people enable the module setting. That way you can load and unload the
module manually if you have multiple soundcards/devices or if you intend to
debug or use cutting edge software which may cause your drivers to halt
sometimes. Of course it also means you have more control of your system.
Most modern distros come with soundcore compiled as a module. You can check
this in numerous ways. The easiest way is to type.
modinfo soundcore
If this command returns that you have this module, then you don't need to
recompile your kernel.
-------------------------------------
'modinfo soundcore' shows that I have this module, but I'm not sure about
the first part (enabling it). I dont understand this part:
"This is in the kernel. Look in the sound drivers directory and it should be
the first option. Most people enable the module setting."
I have no idea where to look for this (newbie). I can find the soundcore.o
file in the folder under lib/<kernel>/drivers/sound/, but have no idea if it
is an 'option' or how to 'enable' it. Or should I not worry about that since
modinfo shows it is part of the distro.
thanks,
jamie
