I answered this query back in arstechnica and I'm sharing it here for the aureal vortex-based soundcard owners.
How to fix Aureal Sourceforge driver
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have Slackware 7.1, kernel 2.4.0 with sound core and OSS compiled into the kernel(not modules), Aureal Sourceforge driver 1.1.2, and a Turtle Beach Montego A3DXStream 8820 sound card. I was getting a lot of unresolved symbols messages when running 'make install20'. I ran 'make rebuild' and then 'make install20' and I'm down to "unresolved symbol get_user_ret". Does anyone know what to do next? I'm going to try the latest patch for the kernel. I'll give a report on the results after that is set up. Thanks
I have the latest patch for my vortex-2 (au8830) and it works with kernel-2.4 under Slack-7.1. The trick is to edit the Makefile for proper include-path: the INCLUDEDIRS= line. My box has the kernel-2.4 under /usr/src/linux-2.4, so that line for me is:
INCLUDEDIRS= -I/usr/src/linux-2.4/include
Having kernel-2.4 on its own directory is a little safer (imo) than re-linking /usr/src/linux on a box that still has 2.2.xx kernels to boot.
You might want to check the CFCPU= line also. Mine's set at pentiumpro (got a celery464a, see).
Next, if you already did the make install20 before, you will need to issue make clean before doing another make install20.Here's some additional notes:
Get the latest Aureal sourceforge drivers at http://sourceforge.net/projects/aureal/
Follow the usual download-and-untar/uncompress routine
Read the README file after de-compressing the tar-ball.
Check exactly what vortex-chipset your soundcard has: e.g.
-- for Vortex-2 based (au8830 chipset) soundcards, do make install
-- for Vortex-1 based (au8820 chipset), do make install20
-- for Vortex-Advantage cards (au8810 chipset), do make install10
If you messed up somehow, just issue a make clean to remove the wrong compiled-files and then issue the proper make-install above.
Hope this helps you guys out.
