Notes and Observations:
When testing on TurboLinux 6.5, the audio functions were not detected during a normal installation. Users must download the driver file named: cmlinx.zip . After downloading this file it is then necessary to compile and install it in order for audio to work. The driver is available from: ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/asus/misc/audio
