Jonathan, I think I have the same sound card. If you do the command "lspci" and it lists an Aureal Semiconductor chip, that is the one. It is not supported by Redhat, but Redhat does detect it. The sound quality out of the cards was ahead of its time. It is a good card. The card is supported by a beta driver at http://aureal.sourceforge.net. It is simple to setup by executing these commands. The first two log onto the sourceforge site and download the source code. The third one compiles and installs the modules. 1. cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.aureal.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal login 2. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.aureal.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal co aureal 3. cd into the aureal directory and do a "make clean" and a "make install". The first time you do it, make clean isn't necessary. 4. For RH 8.0, I had to add these lines to my /etc/rc.local. There is a binary that is compiled under the old GCC that is starting to cause problems. The code isn't available for it. /sbin/modprobe soundcore /sbin/insmod -f au8820 My card uses the au8820 module. You can check your /etc/modules.conf to ensure that yours uses the same one, versus the au8830. If you use this driver, everytime you update your kernel, you have to recompile the driver. Aureal went out of business, was bought by Creative I believe, who will not release the specifications for the chip. The group developing the driver has tried a couple of times. At least one of the other Unix variants (openBSD maybe) has decent drivers. I am not sure how they got their specifications. John On Wed, 2002-10-23 at 14:10, Jonathan M.
