I also use the ubuntu 904 64bit,and a similar hardware, it works for me pretty well .now I can hear 5.1 sound just like the windows driver offer
have you intslled soundcard driver? I use the following install stage $./configure --with-card=ctxfi $make $sudo make modules install
and then restart(if not the old alsa code will make snd-ctxfi driver module unloadable) $sudo modprobe snd-ctxfi
and if it still not work please give some information about $dmesg

hi,
i guess you dont speak german, do you? well, i'll try it in

i tried to install your newest x-fi "hack" in ubuntu 9.04 64bit.
it's an x-fi extreme music. i downloaded this snapshot:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
Use alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz instead of the unstable one.
while the installation process there are some warnings. after
replacing the demon.conf and reboot there was no sound.
then i noticed the sentence "Note that the ctxfi driver might
conflict with the HD-audio driver" in the description. i think my problem is the hdmi soundchip from my graphics adapter (sapphire radeon hd 4870) which was automatically installed at the ubuntu-installation ("hda intel sound").
You are likely looking at irrelevant things.
There are several variants of X-Fi boards. Many of them are equipped with emu20k1 or emu20k2 chip. Some of these models can behave as HD-audio compatible, too. These are supported by snd-ctxfi driver.
In addition, there is X-Fi models that are without emu20k1/emu20k2 chips. Some of them (CA0110-IBG) behave only as a HD-audio device, and some others are with CA0106 chip. The former is supported by snd-hda-intel driver and the latter by snd-ca0106 driver.
So, they cannot be deactivated. The only question is whether you have emu20k1/emu20k2 chip on your board. And this can be checked when you load snd-ctxfi driver. If the driver is properly loaded and the card instance is created (see /proc/asound/cards), then it's good. Otherwise, your board is no such one. You need other drivers.
Please ask further questions on alsa-devel ML (you can add me to Cc, though) so that other people with your board can advice better.
HTH,

hi there,
