Hello,
unfortunately I cannot playback anything (PCM) with the new SB X-Fi driver. Driver: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa- driver-snapshot.tar.bz2 Distribution: openSuSE 11.1 Kernel: 2.6.27.23-0.1-xen
My card is a "X-Fi Titanium" (PCI device code: 1102:000b). The card is recognized by the driver, and any mixer (alsamixer, kmix) also recognizes the card.
But playing back isn't possible. I tried speaker-test, audacity, amarok and aplay. Most applications hang, some also produce an error in the /var/log/messages (see below).
I then used "./configure --with-debug=full --with-cards=ctxfi" due to the possible hd-audio conflict, but it didn't make a difference.
Is there anything else I could try?
I tested the same openSuSE version with a non-Xen 64 bit kernel, and it doesn't work either.
And I tried with this: Driver: alsa-driver-20090704.tar.bz2 Distribution: Kubuntu Karmic Alpha-2 Kernel: 2.6.30 (32 Bit)
Under the latter setup the X-Fi Titanium works (Simple 2 channel test with speaker-test, audacity, amarok). :-))
What I now know/believe is this: - Alsa driver : not responisible (it works) - My Computer hardware : not responsible (it works) - Xen kernel: quite likely not responsible - Kernel < 2.6.30: Probably responsible - 64 Bit: Probably responsible - Other less likely stuff like NVIDIA driver (nv vs nvidia): Could be checked
I will now check other combinations. Next will be Kernel 2.6.30 (64 bit), using openSUSE 11.2-Milestone3.
