Update on my previous kernel rant, I finally compiled it down to just 2.9GB! included all the needed modules and I am also able to boot off of it!

Great news is, that sound both on speakers and also through headphones work, bad news is, that there's some overlayed buzz/distortion, the playback is higher pitched and chrome for some reason plays videos "normally" if you set it to 0.5 speed, else the video get sped up in the "normal" speed setting, well fuck me, but atleast I am closer, also as always thanks to arch wiki, that has tons of resources.

It might be some of the quick hacks that causes this, that I used in the past to make sound work through an external usb card atleast, so might be worth it just reinstalling it all.

    Just out of curiosity, what was wrong with installing drivers with pre build kernel? There are many drivers like alsa etc.

    @Floydian I'll just wait for the opportunity to use that too 🤣
    @rookiemaverick it's a cherrytrail soc, so the needed modules were not part of the compiled kernel antergos uses, so I had to compile my own version including them, so whatever frontend (pulseaudio I think) could make use of it

    @Floydian tbh I just went through your past rants, to kind of cheat and already use it, but there's no real rant yet to put it into, you need to rant more 😰

    @Floydian was about to use it on your comment, but that's too cheap, I'll find another opportunity 😂

    @Floydian also it doesn't have to always be turning bad after doing well, sometimes it just stays this way

    @Bitwise yeah 4.17 introduced those mentioned modules, which up to 4.13 had to be still patched in from a guy maintaining it and wasn't fixed or merged up until now it seems, also thanks for the links, will see if it has anything on my current state of problems :)

    @JoshBent your original kernel(provided by antergos) configuration didn't support loading of sound drivers you needed as module?

    @darkLord it didn't include them during compilation, so there was nothing to activate
