I used to have my alsa drivers which are different to the OP, built in the kernel. For years on end. Then alsasound stop working - something like 5 kernels back, can't recall exactly. I had to build alsa separately as modules. Haven't tried to go back to building them in the kernel again. YMMV. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

For examen, in my grub.conf I have: title Gentoo Linux (linux-2.6.31.5) root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.31.5 root=/dev/sda4 quiet udev splash=silent,fadein,theme:natural_gentoo CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 iwlagn.swcrypto=1 snd-hda-intel.model=basic initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.5 I have two parameters for my built-in modules: for the iwlagn module, the parameter swcrypto=1, and for the snd-hda-intel the parameter model= basic. In general, for a built-in module called "module", you pass the parameter "parm" with value "val" this way: module.parm=val As of now, in my laptop I have *all* my modules built-in. In other machines, I have modules where there is no other option (like nvidia drivers, LIRC, ndiswrapper, stuff like that).

This is from /etc/conf.d/alsasound: # LOAD_ON_START: # Do you want to load sound modules when alsasound starts? # Note: The Gentoo ALSA developers encourage you to build your sound # drivers into the kernel unless the device is hotpluggable or # you need to supply specific options (such as model= to HD-Audio). # no - Do not load modules # yes - Load modules LOAD_ON_START="yes" I've never had a hot-pluggable sound card, so I can only guess whether hald would somehow load that sound module for you. So say LOAD_ON_START="no", compile the on-board sound driver into the kernel and do the other one as a module -- and let us know if it works when you plug it in :o)

OK, so I need to build them as modules, or I need to change those lines in alsa.conf? If I can avoid building them as modules I'd like to. How can those lines be written when the drivers are built into the kernel? - Grant

That's because you don't have that module, it's built into the kernel. This also means the the options lines in alsa.conf will not do anything. -- Neil Bothwick Light travels faster than sound.
