If you use a 2.6 kernel, as is now the default for most people, you may use the
108
drivers provided in the kernel, or you can use the portage package
109
media-sound/alsa-driver. The benifit of using in-kernel drivers is that you do
110
not have to re-emerge a package every time you update your kernel, whereas many
111
people consider using portage to be simpler than mucking through pages and
112
pages of menuconfig. If you want to use the drivers provided with your kernel,
113
you can skip the rest of this section and continue with <uri
