[alsa-devel] Testers wanted: New SB X-Fi driver
Hello, I have this card. Will the unstable version work with my card? I have read it has a different chipset. I installed it a few days ago, but there wasn't any sound. I have Ubuntu 9.04. When I test it in sound preferences it freezes. I would like to test it. If I can be helpful, I'd appreciate you help me. Than you.

Which card? There are tons of different variants, so please be specific.

It's now in alsa-driver snapshot below, too. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
First check whether you install snd-ctxfi module. If the device isn't detected by this driver, it might be that yours aren't with emu20kx chip. Please give lspci and lspci -nv output.
thanks,
Takashi
I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I seems stupid...:P
My card is the X-FI Xtreme Audio PCI-E. http://es.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=671&subcategory=673...
I'm sorry...

I'm certain it has no emu20kx chip. I'm afraid this is only HDA Creative card... so, it should work with snd-hda-intel with patch_creative.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what patch you're talking about.

It's also already in the latest sound git tree. Try the latest alsa-driver snapshot I posted in my previous reply, then load snd-hda-intel driver.
Anyway, lspci -nv output would be helpful.

The result of lspci is in the file.
I've installed the alsa-driver snapshot you posted: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
In sound preferences, I can choose:
- HDA Intel ALC1200 Analog (this is the integrated card in the motherboard) - HD-Audio Generic CA0110 Analog/Digital (this is the X-FI, right?) - HDA ATI HDMI ATI HDMI (from my graphics card, I suppose)
All drivers with OSS and ALSA.
Anyway, when I choose the CA0110 and I click on test sound, the window freezes. Thanks.

It's an unstable version. The stable one is alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz.
In sound preferences, I can choose:
- HDA Intel ALC1200 Analog (this is the integrated card in the
motherboard) - HD-Audio Generic CA0110 Analog/Digital (this is the X-FI, right?)
Likely.
- HDA ATI HDMI ATI HDMI (from my graphics card, I suppose)
All drivers with OSS and ALSA.
Anyway, when I choose the CA0110 and I click on test sound, the window freezes. Thanks.
Try the stable version first.
Also, for primary sound test, don't use any GUI programs. Simply use aplay or speaker-test, such as
% aplay -Ddefault:1 foo.wav
which plays on the secondary card (#1).
thanks,
Takashi
Ok, thank you very much. Only one question before I try this. Can I reinstall alsa ony compiling alsa-driver? I don't know if I have to reinstall alsa-lib and alsa-utils too. Thanks.
I have reinstalled only the alsa-driver and I've run aplay.
With aplay -l I have this:
**** Lista de PLAYBACK Dispositivos Hardware **** tarjeta 0: Intel [HDA Intel], dispositivo 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] Subdispositivos: 1/1 Subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0 tarjeta 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], dispositivo 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdispositivos: 1/1 Subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0 tarjeta 2: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], dispositivo 0: CA0110 Analog [CA0110 Analog] Subdispositivos: 1/1 Subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0 tarjeta 2: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], dispositivo 1: CA0110 Digital [CA0110 Digital] Subdispositivos: 1/1 Subdispositivo #0: subdevice #0
Then, I executed aplay -D hw:2,0 foo.wav. And it returns this:
Sonando WAVE 'foo.wav' : Signed 32 bit Little Endian, Ratio 44100 Hz, Estéreo aplay: pcm_write:1528: error de escritura: Error de entrada/salida
If the language is a problem(sorry, I'm spanish), it means something like writting error: Input/output error. Thanks.

OK, thanks for testing. It looks like a model that currently doesn't work by unknown reason. IIRC, there was another case.

I haven't understanded the last part. Anyway, it means this card is not supported at the moment, right? Thanks.
