Re: sound compiled into kernel as opposed to a module (SOLVED)
DOH!!!
Here's another one for the tech horror stories.
Some advice: Always make sure that your speakers are plugged in before
testing your sound card. It can save you hours of head banging.
I figure that it was probably working while compiled in kernel as well. Oh
well, I guess I'll leave it as a module.
*sigh* Sometimes I wonder if I'm in the right profession...
