I'm a total newb to linux and I'm trying to get my Aureal Vortex 1 sound card to work with my Mandrake 9.2 distro. Unfortunately, the installation setup told me my sound card cannot be set up. So I have to manually do it.
Trouble is, I downloaded alsa-driver-1.0.4 but I'm having trouble installing it. I think I'm using kernel 2.4.4 (or whatever 9.2 came with). I try to do ./configure and make but I get this "kernel not supported in 32 bit mode".
I had a mobo with an onboard aureal vortex 8810 chip, and let me tell you, it's a pain to get it working...but if you're willing to do some work, then take a look at this post. I'm not sure if there have been any updated drivers atm(since I got rid of that mobo), but you can also do a search here for "aureal", and a number of treads will give you some direction for your ears. Have fun .
