Those are general instructions, little one. Read the specific
instructions wrt to the card under discussion.

And, since you're not posting in good faith, you are killfiled for
28 days. If, when we have come back, you haven't gotten your act
together, you will be killfiled permanently.

It's all up to you.

cordially, as always,

He found the right directions, as they haven't changed in 3
years. Especially since the code is in the kernel, it can be compiled
directly in, or as a module. Also, you only mentioned the *chipset*,
not the actual card. The Chipset support can be compiled into the
kernel or as a module. Either way, it has to be compiled, even if you
compile sound out of the kernel (sound/Kconfig has that documented).

Your whining and grandstanding on this is no excuse for that
this is a PEBKAC issue, and to make it worse, you have no clue on what
could and could not be done. n00b.

You haven't mentioned the card (that I can see), only that its AC97.
All the AC97 pages contain the above information, because that's how it
works.

Not posting in good faith? You said the information wasn't there, I
posted back saying it is, because it is.
Of course you can killfile whomever you want to.

Those are general directions, not specific to the card ih question,
little dick.

How are you doing with the vacuuam pump? Gave up on the weights,
eh?

There's only a very few pretentious trolls left who use pgp trash
trolling.

If you go to the page for the AC97 card in question, you will see the above
information, as it is on ALL the AC97 pages, because that is how it works.

Our apologies. We read the info here, and not on the alsa project:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?ti...led_as_modules

"Check that the ALSA drivers are compiled as modules"

"Make sure you have installed ALSA as modules, and not compiled into
the kernel. ALSA fails for all sorts of reasons when compiled into
the kernel (this may no longer be true for kernels after v2.6.5).
Anything that mentions sound in the kernel config, even if it is not
directly to do with ALSA, set its option to M if you can. If you
compile your own kernel: when you configure the kernel, make sure
you see M (for module) and not * (compiled into the kernel)."

What a complete ignoramus. Especially after asking others if they thought
they could find the ALSA documentation properly. Fool.

I guess the reference to 2.6.5 didn't clue you in, either, huh? What a
fucking moron.

You are, and will always be, a complete n00b. Bugger off.
