Hello everbody,

Can someone give the current state of the driver? What are his features, what is working?

I've been watching this thread for a while, and occasionally trying out new builds, as I have an original PCI X-Fi emu20k1. Everyone else seems to be reporting decent successes, but I have never managed it myself.

Playing back sound files at any sample-rate results in a repeating burst of static. Adjusting the period/buffer parameters to aplay will cause the pitch/tone of the static burst to change, but never turn into anything remotely like the desired sound.

I'm running this on a 64-bit system (Ubuntu 8.04 with a custom compiled kernel). Is anyone else having success on this platform?

Maybe the difference of SB X-Fi model?

IIRC, the boards people reported to work are either the original X-Fi, SB055x or SB077x model. Is yours Vista-compatible one? It appears in /proc/asound/cards as UAA, and can be identified via PCI SSID.

I believe I have the original model, as I bought this card shortly after the X-Fi was first announced.
