I don't know about other platforms, but at least on amd64 (the most common platform), this driver (the most commonly needed) is already part of the GENERIC kernel, which makes the example pointless and confusing. This section needs a refresh, mentioning that loading a sound driver or building a custom kernel is only needed when using less common hardware. Ta= king another driver than snd_hda as an example would be a good move too. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
