[alsa-devel] Testers wanted: New SB X-Fi driver
Hi and thanks for this driver. It works great and even 6- and 8-Channel-Output is supported now.
The only two little things I noticed are: 1. Most programs are looking for "surround51" to use for multichannel sound. But this driver only provides the "default"-Device (in it's description it says:
aplay -L default:CARD=XFi Creative X-Fi, Front/WaveIn Default Audio Device
)
2. I can hear a gentle grumbling out of my speakers. But nothing serious.

Use the latest alsa-lib snapshot. The config file for X-Fi is already there.

Do you hear it even with the volume under 60%? The volume scale seems messy right now. Don't set it too high.
thanks,
Takashi

Hmm... I see a definition for iec958 in SB-XFI.conf, but aplay -L doesn't list it for my card.

Use the very latest GIT tree. It's fixed now.
