I'm installing Gentoo on an older Intel Core2 Duo machine from Dell
for some testing. Checking with "lspci -v" from the install CD shows...
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio
Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Dell Inspiron 530
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 43
Memory at fdff4000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
In "make menuconfig" I get a whole slew of codecs, i.e...
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054
The only one I'm confident eliminating is CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
due to the help saying "Say Y here to include HDMI and DisplayPort
HD-audio codec". This is an older machine, and doesn't have a card or
chip with HDMI and/or DisplayPort.
