Hi All, I compiled the kernel 2.6.36 and now the sound is missing. I have pasted the outputs of lsmod and lspci. I have fedora 12 installed on the system. Have I done something wrong in the menuconfig stage. Sound is coming properly with the old Fedora Kernel. I tried tweaking the alsamixer but it did not work.
