Hi,

I hope I'm in the right place here.

I bought a Creative USB X-Fi Pro (external USB DAC) which plays/records audio just fine out of the box. It features a volume knob and also an IR remote control (RM-820). These controls didn't work. I followed a guide which describes how to get the controls to work on Linux using LIRC alsa_usb driver (https://alsa.opensrc.org/Usb-audio under section "Creative USB X-Fi Surround 5.1").

It turned out the method didn't work for my device (LIRC wouldn't detect the IR device) so I did some digging and found this patch (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/3dc8523fa7412e731441c01fb33f003eb3c...) which enables the volume knob for the device. I noticed the USB ID is 041e:3237, while my device has 041e:3263. My device is marketed as "CREATIVE Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro v3" and only available since the beginning of 2019. So, I assume it to be another revision of the same hardware. The device model is SB1095.

I recompiled my kernel with the attached simple patch and the controls including the IR remote are now detected by LIRC and working.

I'd be happy if the change could be picked up if possible.

Thank you Mirko
