关于8830芯片声卡

Getting sound
I have a Monster MX300 sound card. That fact is more or less irrelevant because it's the chipset that really matters. The MX300 uses the Aureal Vortex 2, designated AU8830 or just 8830.
A quick Google search seemed to indicate that there was plenty of support out there for this card/chipset. One site had Aureal's original Linux drivers. The company is out of business, though, so there's no more support from them, plus for some reason I couldn't untar them. That page also suggests unofficial drivers from the Linux Aureal Driver project at SourceForge. That looked promising, but I couldn't untar those files either! When I tried, I got an error indicating some data was missing. Then I tried the OpenVortex Project, but their download area is totally empty!
I finally found drivers that I could unpack at http://jayasolutions.0catch.com/03gnulinux.html. Since this is the only source of this driver that I've been able to find, I'm keeping a copy on my server as well. You can get it here: au88xx-1.1.3.1.tar.gz. The README file indicates that this is from the SourceForge Aureal project, but again, none of those files worked for me.
So I just untarred them to my /tmp directory and did a make install-all per the README's instructions. The MX300 was listed among the supported cards, so that made me happy.
I first tested my new sound capabilities with xmms, which is a Winamp-like MP3 player. Worked beautifully. The next day I got mplayer and had similarly positive results. The driver doesn't seem to support ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture), at least not for me. When I'm using Mozilla I still get periodic errors about no alsa card being found, or something like that. Also, when I run alsaconf it will not detect my sound card. I don't really care. I can play media files and that's all I'm worried about. |
