Okay. <br><br>Anyway, The sound is of very good quality with the au8830 using oss emulation for alsa on the 2.6* kernels. Good surround effects as long as you use the alsamixer to setup the chipset for surround, 4 channel speakers, etc. <br><br>But you do have to compile your own module, as you said, for 2.4 kernels from cvs.sourceforge. The drivers come with the 2.6.kernel sources and has 4 channel and even SPDIF support. So, apparently, someone must be working on it?<br><br>Aureal CVS only supports 2 channel stereo for the 2.4. And they haven't updated that for years. But it does work.<br><br>I've got all 4 channels working, pretty good sound with mplayer. They have an option to set it to four channels. But what about the "channels" section in the q3config file? Does setting the channels to 4 actually work for supported cards? Or is that limited to 2 channels?<br><br>And what about the khz section. Does it support 44khz instead of
22.5?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Hank<br><br><b><i>"Zachary J.
