where would i get this aumix?

<-confused, googled aumix and all i find is the source code

I don't know what the Mandrake packaging program is. I use Debian, so I just 'apt-get install aumix'.

Do you use RPMs?

Sorry, I've never used Mandrake

what's an RPM? 😕

http://www.winehq.com/download/

which one do I download for Mandrake? 😕

Please check out plf.zarb.org and "man urpmi"

to install aumix, try "urpmi aumix" with root privileges

also, try the guys in #mandrake on Efnet.. They're knowledgible and if you worship them, they'll be really nice to you.

aumix came with the OS 😱

edit: didn't fix my problem, my sound still sounds very artificial

You don't want to do that.

what exactly does that mean? Why wouldn't you want to write to a NTFS partition?

You don't want to do it because while NTFS read is fully supported, NTFS write is still in the early development stages. The problem is MS won't share info on NTFS so learning how to write to it is taking a lot of time. While beta support for NTFS write *is* in place...if you try to use it ther eis a 99% chance it will crash your OS and potentially corrupt the file you tried to write and/or your NTFS filesystem. Reads are perfectly fine but I wouldn't suggest trying to write.

Exactly.
