[SOLVED] Intel HD Audio in Kernel?

[dmac0o1]

Hey all,

I can't seem to find the option to include Intel HD Audio in menuconfig for 4.4.6-gentoo. According to my research, it should be under:

Device Drivers ---->
<*> Sound card support
<*> ALSA ------->
[*] PCI sound devices ------->
<*> Intel HD Audio
...


But I can't seem to find it in there... has it moved to another place? It would be nice to get sound up and running on my laptop!


Thank you in advance!

I build as much as I can as modules to keep the kernel size down, and faster boot time. You should consider doing the same. Here is what i have configured for snd-hda-intel

-Device Drivers
-Sound Card Support
-ALSA
-PCI Sound Devices
<M> Intel/SiS/nVidia/AMD/ALi AC97 Controller

-HD Audio PCI
-(2048) Pre-allocated buffer size for HD-audio driver
[*] Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver
Allow dynamic codec reconfiguration
[ ] Support digital beep via input layer
[ ] Support jack plugging notification via input layer
[*] Support initialization patch loading for HD-audio
<M> Build Realtek HD-audio codec support
< > Build Analog Device HD-audio codec support
< > Build IDT/Sigmatel HD-audio codec support
< > Build VIA HD-audio codec support
<M> Build HDMI/DisplayPort HD-audio codec support
< > Build Cirrus Logic codec support
< > Build Conexant HD-audio codec support
< > Build Creative CA0110-IBG codec support
< > Build Creative CA0132 codec support
< > Build C-Media HD-audio codec support
< > Build Silicon Labs 3054 HD-modem codec support
-M- Enable generic HD-audio codec parser
(0) Default time-out for HD-audio power-save mode

Thank you for the response! I'll recompile the kernel with your suggestions and see if I can get the sound working.

Hey man,

Did you manage to get the sound working? I'm curious because I have the same configuration and wanted to know how to proceed.
