Not even with the earliest ALSA ones, though I didn't get sound. Heh. If you still have it, the project is somewhat suffering from lack of testers. http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/openvortex My vortex2 continues to serve me well since I bought it in '99. Awesome technology and quality engineering, killed off by Creative plowing Aureal under with bullshit lawsuits until they ran out of money. Classic strongarm tactics. R.I.P., Aureal. Sadly, the success of the reverse engineering effort comes a bit too late. I feel the evolution of PC audio technology has been stunted for another decade. ;P _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
