#10 aureal driver mandrake 8.1
To get driver working in mandrake 8.0 I had to get the
CVS build and apply a patch. This was related to a
problem with 2.4 kernels AFAIR. It (8.0) also uses
ARTS sound server with KDE2.1, which caused problems,
esp with Unreal Tournament.
Mandrake 8.1 now has a later 2.4 kernel and also devfs
built in, which is possibly the problem. Anyhow, I've
tried the latest stable driver and the "old" CVS
patched version, but I get this...

I have BX motherboard with aureal vortex 2. I guess it
is time to buy a new soundcard! Shame, it is a good
card for my needs, but a bugger to keep working.
