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..
