building kernel for ac97 sound card

[Linux for blind general discussion]

The sound card drivers are modules, so just build the module if need be.
Ac97 sounds pretty standard to me though, so I think it should be part of 
the standard setup already.
The pc speaker is something else though.
There is a module called pcspkr which allow the use of that.
All pc's does not have a speaker though.
Maybe I am missing something in your message?
Regards, Willem
