The SuSE kernel includes Alsa in the source, so recompiling doesn't mess with the sound. But if I compile a vanilla kernel, it does, because SuSE wants to load the alsa drivers for the soundcard.
My soundcard is supported by the vanilla kernel drivers and works very well with that too. Is there a way to persuade Yast2 to use the kernel driver instead? When I click on options for the souncard (Ensoniq 1371 (?) based Creative SoundBlaster PCI 128), it tells me there's no options.
Thanks Hans
I've installed a vanilla kernel on 5 machines... and have only had to play with the sound on 3 of them. Download the: libs, drivers, utilities from www.alsa-project.org and do a ./configure, make, make install on each of them (after you've booted to the new kernel) and you'll be all set. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
