aureal sound cards had extensive software drivers. Aureal is out of business and the linux driver they wrote, which you found on sourceforge is several years old. The wrapper (that part of it that is open-source) has been kept updated but it must be compiled for the kernel it will work with. Recompiling the kernel is NOT complicated. There is a step-by-step in the Mandrake reference manual. NO linux distribution includes that aureal driver because it is not free software (source code is not provided, and there is no license to distribute it). if your Aureal sound card is from DELL, just plain forget ever having it work under linux. Even the standard windows drivers will not work because the card was made especially for DELL by Aureal to their specifications and only the DELL windows driver wirll work. Civileme
