Greetings,

Just bought one of these to get around the fact the mobo involved wouldn't recognize any soundcard plugged into either PCI slots (onboard sound disabled in BIOS) -- it will however see a soundcard plugged into the pcie 1x slot.....

03:00.0 PCI bridge: Creative Labs Device 7006 (prog-if 00 [Normal decode]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 Bus: primary=03, secondary=04, subordinate=04, sec-latency=32 Memory behind bridge: ee000000-ee0fffff Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/4 Enable- Capabilities: [80] Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 0010 Capabilities: [90] Express PCI/PCI-X Bridge, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting <?> Kernel modules: shpchp

04:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 0018 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16 Memory at ee000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 3 Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

Does seemed to be claimed by snd-hda-intel (vid/pid 1102/0009), but subsystem descriptor of 1102/0018 is seemingly unknown by the drivers. Wild guess here is this should be claimed by ctxfi.ko? I can provide a list of hardware IC's fitted to the card -- most of them are *not* codec chips afaict.....that said, 2 oncard chips I cannot readily identify. My suspicion is it's like other cards covered by ctxfi.ko in that the card has no ac97-codec fitted and is just a plain ole' sblive type card....but this is only speculation...

Anyone seens one of these, or have any idea where to start poking for clues (if any) to get it working?

Cheers!
