The SoundBlaster emulation of the Montego is horrible, thus it does not work
under Linux as a soundblaster card. The one place I've seen to _promise_ to
support the Montego is http://www.opensound.com/ and even they seem to be
aiming for a Q2 release of the driver. Until then, your friend is probably
out of luck.

From http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html in the "Cards/chips we don't plan
to support" section:
Turtle Beach Montego (NOT SUPPORTED YET)

Greetings Linux-sound!
A friend of mine recently switched to Linux, and amazed at its
power and abilities, wishes to move as many functions over to Linux as
possible. Many of his devices had support and were supported, and others,
such as his USB scanner, etc. will have better support under Linux
2.2...however, one big thing is sound, of which he has a Turtle Beach
Montego... having perused through the kernel sound source, various
outdated howtos and Linux sound web pages, we were unable to determine if
any support (commercial or standard kernel) was available for this card.
Any sound would be sufficient for starters, even simple Sound Blaster PRO
(if this card has a native emulation mode). Does anyone know of any
support for this card? This is the Montego, not the new Montego II.
Thanks in advance.

There's no support yet for the Turtle Beach Montego or other cards with the
vortex chip. No ETA on it earlier, from what I can tell at the opensound or
ALSA web sites.
