aureal sound card

Hi all

 

I thought that i could do this myself but yet again i am scratching my hair out. After finally getting X to work, i have been playing reading and trying to learn everything about Linux. Its a very slow process, i thought i could live without sound, but my apartment is too quiet :D

 

Ok i downladed the aureal driver from http://sourceforge.net and did everything that it told me to do. I finally got it down to only 2 error messages, there were a lot more when i first started.

 

[root@localhost aureal]# make install

version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running is compiled with

a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work.

I read somewhere that i needed to download the kernel source which i did, i have also read that it isnt compatable with a gcc version 3 compiler.

 

Yet again i am asking for help

 

Thanks in advance...you guys are great

 

:D

Did you download the CVS version of the drivers? Essentially you will probably have to recompile the drivers using gcc 3 (which may or may not work) or recompile the kernel using gcc 2 (don't do that)

 

Did you actually compile these drivers before installing them? (i.e. run configure and/or make) If not you will need to download the source code and compile it all from scratch

i didnt download the cvs version, but i can try that right now.

 

I ran make install i looked at the make file to see if there was anything i could change there but couldnt see anything...but what do i know.

 

and each time i ran make clean and started all over again.

If you are only ever running make install, then you are not compiling from source (or probably not anyway)

 

Download the cvs version (the instructions are on the website) and read the readme or install file (which I assume will be included). This should tell you how to compile . It will probably be something like:

 

./configure

make

(as root) make install

OK - first make sure you have cvs installed - if it's not then you will have the necessary RPMs on your mandrake CD

 

then (in the directory you want to download to) do:

 

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal login

 

If this fails - just repeat. Sometimes, if the server is busy, you get errors. If you repeatedly get errors then try again another time.

 

Then do:

 

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal co aureal

 

Then run:

 

make

 

and then (as root):

 

make install

 

If this works without errors try loading the module (as root):

 

modprobe au88xx

where xx is your card - either 10, 20 or 30

 

if this loads without problems, then try to run some stuff with sound - hopefully it'll work! Then you need to add your modulename to /etc/modules.conf to get it to load automatically.

 

If you can't figure out which card you have - this is taken from the readme:

 

All AU8810, AU8820 and AU8830 based sound cards, including:

 

Absolute Multimedia Outrageous 3D (AU8830)

Aureal SQ1500    (AU8810)

Aureal SQ2500    (AU8830)

Aureal SuperQuad Digital PCI  (AU8830)

Diamond Monster Sound MX200  (AU8820)

Diamond Monster Sound MX300  (AU8830)

Diamond Sonic Impact S90  (AU8820)

Digital Research Tech. DRSOUNDA3V (AU8830)

Genius SoundMaker 64  (AU8820)

Hi-Val PCI 338    (AU8820)

Hi-Val PCI 576    (AU8830)

I/O Magic MagicWaveV1  (AU8810)

I/O Magic MagicWaveV2  (AU8830)

TerraTec Promedia XLerate  (AU8820)

TerraTec Promedia XLerate Pro  (AU8830)

Turtle Beach Montego A3DXStream  (AU8820)

Turtle Beach Montego II  (AU8830)

Turtle Beach Montego II Quadzilla (AU8830)

Videologic SonicVortex2  (AU8830)

Xitel Storm VX    (AU8820)

Xitel Storm Platinum  (AU8830)

 

Use "lspci -v '12eb:*'" to identify your card.  If your card

is not in the list, it will probably still work.

 

AU8810 = Aureal Vortex Advantage based soundcards

AU8820 = Aureal Vortex 1 based soundcards

AU8830 = Aureal Vortex 2 based soundcards

 

Hope that all helps! Post again if you run into trouble...

The instructions are in the web page, specifically here

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=8109

 

Anyway, here is how to do it just in case you are too lazy :)

Anonymous CVS Access



This project's SourceForge.net CVS repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following instruction set. The module you wish to check out must be specified as the modulename. When prompted for a password for anonymous, simply press the Enter key. To determine the names of the modules created by this project, you may examine their CVS repository via the provided web-based CVS repository viewer.



cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal login



cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal co modulename



Information about accessing this CVS repository may be found in our document titled, "Basic Introduction to CVS and SourceForge.net (SF.net) Project CVS Services".



Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter.



NOTE: UNIX file and directory names are case sensitive. The path to the project CVSROOT must be specified using lowercase characters (i.e. /cvsroot/aureal)

 

Good luck. The aureal is a nice card during its days. I used to have one, but I left it in another country.

hi again

 

I love to read thats how i learn...!!!

 

Ok i downloaded the tar file of cvs and ram ./configure make then make install everything went fine. I have cvs on my system.

 

At root i entered

 

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal login

 

which asked me for a password i pressed Enter and put in the next command

 

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal co aureal

 

Anyway this is what happened:

 

[root@localhost root]# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/aureal login

Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/aureal
