Bug 128879 – gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r1 breakes alsa

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE

[Description Patrick Ohearn 2006-04-05 01:52:36 UTC]

I have been running alsa as a modules's in my kernel since 2.6.15-r1. After upgrading to 2.6.16-r1 alsa has stopped working. I use the hda-intel module. There is a post on the gentoo-wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ALSA_sound_mixer_aka_dmix#Troubleshooting_Kernel_2.6.16) about it.

Are you using alsa ebuilds, not the in-kernel alsa? If so, you need >=1.0.11_rc3, 1.0.10 won't work w/ 2.6.16 kernels. That's not a bug.
