Open Aureal Linux Driver is a fork of Aureal's own soundcard drivers for the Vortex 2, Vortex 1 and Vortex Advantage. It is built with the goals of making the drivers more Open Sound System (OSS) compliant, more stable, and supporting later kernels.

Installing the Driver

1. Unpack the distribution:
tar xvzf aureal*.tar.gz

2. Change to the driver directory and become root:
cd aureal*
su

3. Edit the Makefile to suit your system (SMP, CPU type, etc)

4. Type the following install commands:

If you have an 8830-based (Vortex 2) card:
make install

If you have an 8820-based (Vortex 1) card:
make install20

If you have an 8810-based (Vortex Advantage) card:
make install10

There is no need to reboot.

Note: if you get "unresolved symbol" errors during the install, rebuild your kernel with sound support (soundcore) built in (not a module).

What's New in This Release:
Works with kernel 2.4.0
