I am using Mandrake-Linux (Red Hat) 6.0. I am unable to get my (new) sound card working in linux. It as the AcerOpen AW230 (PCI) with the Crystal CS4280 chip. Sndconfig shows that the Crystal Cemiconductor CD41** chip is supported. As a newcomer to this list and to linux, I would appreciate directions on how I might get the card to work.
