Anyone have linux drivers for a Turtle Beach Montego (Aureal)?

[Majius]

The only drivers I can get working on Mandrake 8 for my turtle beach montego (A3d) sound card are some ones that last for 3 hrs and then I have to pay for them. The free ones have all these corruption and errors when installing (apparently Aureal wanted to be a bitch and not open their source so no one could write drivers for them).

Well I don't know if I can help much.. I have an Aureal Vortex 2 Superquad Digital (essentially an SQ2500). I can say that the drivers that are given at Sourceforge worked pretty good (I used the Aureal Vortex 2 8830 drivers), except KDE 2.11 was screwing something up.

I don't remember for sure, but I think that the Turtle Beach Montego used the original Aureal Vortex chips (8820).

I had no idea that your soundcard (or any Aureal based soundcard), had drivers written for them! I do know that because Aureal was doing so fine, that they left a fair amount of users to work on drivers, and have done a pretty good job...

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I've tried the drivers at soundforge a couple times but there seems to be some errors in installation. I used the following driver:
au88xx-1.1.2.tar.gz
and got the following error messages:
make install20
make install AUCHIP=AU8820
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/maji/rpms/aureal'

Try Vortex of Sound

been there.. done that. Lol.. those dont work. Those get the same errors as my above post (cause the above post has a newer version of the drivers listed at the vortex of sound).

try to install the kernel source files (ie if you're using Mandrake 8, I think it's the equivalent to add-remove in windows (I'm not running Mandrake 8 right now). That fixed a problem I had when installing those drivers.
