turtle beach montego wont work with Mandrake 7.2

[chief_illini_4_ever]

Hi everyone, I could use some help getting my soundcard to work in Linux. This is that last piece of the puzzle before everything is working smoothly.

I have a turtle beach montego II soundcard and I can't get it configured to work in Mandrake 7.2 . I have read some posts that say i need to install a module to the kernel. But since i'm a real newbie I don't have any idea what this means or how to do it.
If someone could give me a step by step procedure on this I would be forever grateful.
Thanks in advance

Since I don't have one, I can only really suggest you try the search results (http://www.google.com/linux?site=search&restrict=linux&hl=en&safe=off&q=turtle+beach+montego+II+&btnG=Google+Search) from Google until someone more knowledgeable can help.

I have Turtle Beach Montego card and, to the best of my knowledge, this card is not supported under Linux yet. :( The same, I believe, goes for Montego II card. Hope somebody will correct me if I'm wrong...

I downloaded the aureal drivers from http://aureal.sourceforge.net/

It came in two files....

au88xx-1.1.2.tar.bz2
and
au88xx-1.1.2.tar.gz

Now that i have these files i have no idea what to do. I have read in another post that afterwards, the Linux kernel needed to be recompiled since sound compatability is a module (whatever all that means).
So if someone out there can help me to install the driver i have downloaded and then recompile the kernel that would be great.
thank you all

You first need to unpack the downloaded file.

tar zxvf au88xx-1.1.2.tar.gz

cd au88xx-1.1.2

Read the README or Install.

Normally the 3 steps are

./configure
make
make install
