Hi,

I used these drivers for a while. The ones I downloaded worked
for 2.2.x kernels only, and even then you had to compile the kernel
to load modules from different kernel versions. E.g. au8820.o, the
object file, is built for a particular 2.2.x kernel, and refuses to load
with e.g. 2.2.19 kernel unless you compile with "Set version information 
information on all module symbols". This was a pain. The card worked
wonderfully when the driver loaded... for a while. When I upgraded to
2.4.x kernels I got a new soundcard as I experienced many stability
issues with au8820.o, and wanted something that had a complete
source driver and not just an object file.

The drivers you are using may be different, but IMHO they are not
"trouble free" by any means.

Regs,

Andrew Kemmy.
