Aureal Vortex (8830) vs. kernel 2.4.0-test9

[ericb]

has anyone gotten a Vortex soundcard using the 8830 chipset to work with 2.4.0-test9?

i've tried both the official drivers from aureal (au88xx-1.0.5.tar.gz) and the unofficial ones from sourceforge (au88xx-1.1.1.tar.gz)

what happens is after i "make install" the 1.1.1 drivers is "unresolved symbol get_user_ret"

any ideas as to how to make it work? let me know if you need any more info.

thanks,
eric b

I thought the sourceforge guys had a forum about their drivers. I don't recall because I got rid of my Vortex2 card and put a SBLIVE on my computer instead. I know they have a fix for that.

yeah, i found the forums on sourceforge and in one post i found there is this:

==========
Thanks a lot. I've added the following lines to my au_vortex.h:
#if !defined(get_user_ret)
#define get_user_ret(x,ptr,ret) ({if(get_user(x,ptr)) return ret; })
#endif

==========

i'll try that when i get home
