My SB Live! 5.1 sang its last note finally, so I'm reverting to the
onboard Intel chip. I got my kernel configured already, but when I
went to edit make.conf, I became confused on which of the following is
correct:
ALSA_CARDS="snd-hda-intel"
or
ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel"
I googled it and, of course, found examples for both :-/
I then used 'eix/' to check the alsa packages and didn't see either form.
Which is correct?
On a side note, is it even needed since I run a monolithic kernel?
It's not needed. It's also not needed when building sound drivers as
modules. AFAIK, ALSA_CARDS serves no purpose anymore, since it was used
to control the drivers that were built by the alsa-driver ebuild. The
alsa-driver package has been removed from portage.
You can simply delete ALSA_CARDS from make.conf.
