That is very obscure!! Why would PC speaker support be an kernel option?
I performed a very thorough search of the config options. Even using this
command the search the Kconfig's
# for i in `find | grep Kconfig`; do echo $i;fgrep "speaker" $i;done
if only I had greped for "Speaker" instead of "speaker". Grrrr!!!!
What a waste of time!!!!! (1 full day, before e-mailing for help).
Thanks tho !!!!
