Re: [expert] Aureal AU8830 Superquad
Thanks Darin, I feel the same way about these Aureal cards. I haven't had this one for long, but it used to be fantastic under NT4 (I only stopped using it because I changed to a motherboard that had onboard Creative CT5880 sound which was good enough for me on my development machine.

Re: [expert] Aureal AU8830 Superquad
Lyric, I have an Aureal SQ2500, which uses the 8830 chipset.. This is by far the best sound card out there.. It beats the SB Live hands down.. The drivers for it can be obtained here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aureal You will want to get the 1.1.2 drivers, and patch number 407654. The patch will fix a bug caused problems with ARTSD. The patch can be obtained here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=407654&group_id=810 9&atid=308109 Once you untar and unzip the drivers, save the patch into the aureal directory under the name aureal.diff Then do 'patch -p1 < aureal.diff' That will patch the source code.. Then do 'make' to compile Then do 'make install' to install the driver.. Its best to do this as root.. Thats all I had to do to get it to work.. After that, the drivers have worked flawlessly for me..

Maybe it would be better to give that card to somebody, hopefully a windoze user, you don't like ? http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?sid=427&lang=en -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Last week I was researching soundcard support to make recommendation for a new computer system. The bad news is that I could find no support for this card in the linux kernel or the alsa-project. Appears that once the company went belly-up last year all support for Aureal chip set ceased. It's possible that I have incomplete information and that others have gotten this card to work.

I had to download the file au88xx-1.1.2.tar.gz from the Internet. It took me a long time, but I finally got it configured. The first thing you have to do is compile the kernel. You do that by going to a command prompt and typing: urpmi kernel-source. This will set up everything you need. Then you make a directory named /aureal and copy the tar file in there and untar it. Then you switch to the other /aureal directory (which LM makes when you untar the file) and run the program 'make'. In other words, you would type in 'make install30', which is the model of your card. I hope this works for you the first time. I tried it many times before it worked. I hope it works the first time for you. Good luck. Guy GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Hey all, Does anyone have the above soundcard working under Mandrake 8.0? If so, did you have to install any special drivers to make it work, or did Mandrake find and configure it for you? I have one of those cards sitting on my desk right now, and I would like to make use of it in my Linux machine. Please let me know what was required in order to get this card up and running, if it doesn;t onvolve too much hassle, I should like to upgrade my soundcard this weekend. Thanks.
