Hardware sound in Linux - sk2k7_ops - 06-05-2008 How do I get hardware sound in Linux to work through the game? The Hardware Sound option defaults to off every time I change it.

Cheers RE: Hardware sound in Linux - cloud - 07-17-2008 I have not found creative to be that helpful in getting drivers out for linux.
