What driver do you use in ALSA for the Areal Vortec AU8810A1?

according to ALSA's driver matrix, it is not supported (at least with this name).

Try the openvortex site. (Linked from the ALSA driver matrix page for the AU8830, btw.)

I posted an ebuild for openvortex on breakmygentoo.net. It works well for me!

I used a Vortex card in linux years ago using the au8xxx.o module.

I was trying the ebuild you have posted... but i get the following error

emerge -p openvortex-cvs-20030922.ebuild install

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies \!!! aux_get(): ebuild for 'Desktop/openvortex-cvs-20030922' does not exist at:
!!! /usr/portage/Desktop/openvortex-cvs/openvortex-cvs-20030922.ebuild
emerge: create(): aux_get() error on Desktop/openvortex-cvs-20030922; aborting...

Am i doing the emerge incorrectly? I was in the directory where the .ebuld file is located. Any help would be great!

thanks

In your PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory, most likely /usr/local/portage you should make a subdirectory like media-sound. Extract the ebuild in this directory.

This will solve your problem.
