Hi Takashi,

first of all, thank you for developing this driver. I tested it today. It works, so far.

But two annoying things. As you mentioned, I got problems, if the onboard sound modules are loaded. Then i get no sound out auf my xfi.

It's likely the collision of PCI device ID. Some X-Fi models support both HD-audio and emu20kx-native modes. The modes are switched by some magical sequence.

Anyway, please run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the generated file.

I let the kernel auto probe all sound modules and generated then the alsa-info.txt It's attached.

...

If I disable the loading of snd-hda-intel modules while booting, then it works.

The second problem is, that SIDE and SURROUND connectors are interchanged. I'm absolutly sure, it works fine under windows and the connector colors are also correct.

If I run speaker-test -c8 the SIDE Speakers sounds come out of my REAR (SURROUND) Speakers, while nothing is coming out of my rear speakers, if i'm using speaker-test -c6

So, the side channels (channel 7 & 8) and the rear channels (3 & 4) are swapped when running with 8 channel mode?

The REAR and SURROUND channels are swapped in 4, 6 and 8channel mode ... so they always swapped. (speaker-test) AND because there are swapped in 6channel mode too .... there is nothing coming out of the rear channels, if I connect everything right. I double checked it with windows and with cable colors.

Sincerely, Frashman

how to upload?

Hi Takashi,

first of all, thank you for developing this driver. I tested it today. It works, so far.

But two annoying things. As you mentioned, I got problems, if the onboard sound modules are loaded. Then i get no sound out auf my xfi.

It's likely the collision of PCI device ID. Some X-Fi models support both HD-audio and emu20kx-native modes. The modes are switched by some magical sequence.

Anyway, please run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the generated file.

I let the kernel auto probe all sound modules and generated then the alsa-info.txt It's attached.

...

...

If I disable the loading of snd-hda-intel modules while booting, then it works.

The second problem is, that SIDE and SURROUND connectors are interchanged. I'm absolutly sure, it works fine under windows and the connector colors are also correct.

If I run speaker-test -c8 the SIDE Speakers sounds come out of my REAR (SURROUND) Speakers, while nothing is coming out of my rear speakers, if i'm using speaker-test -c6

So, the side channels (channel 7 & 8) and the rear channels (3 & 4) are swapped when running with 8 channel mode?

The REAR and SURROUND channels are swapped in 4, 6 and 8channel mode ... so they always swapped. (speaker-test) AND because there are swapped in 6channel mode too .... there is nothing coming out of the rear channels, if I connect everything right. I double checked it with windows and with cable colors.

Sincerely, Frashman

Hi Takashi,

first of all, thank you for developing this driver. I tested it today. It works, so far.

But two annoying things. As you mentioned, I got problems, if the onboard sound modules are loaded. Then i get no sound out auf my xfi.

It's likely the collision of PCI device ID. Some X-Fi models support both HD-audio and emu20kx-native modes. The modes are switched by some magical sequence.

Anyway, please run alsa-info.sh with --no-upload option, and attach the generated file.

...

If I disable the loading of snd-hda-intel modules while booting, then it works.

The second problem is, that SIDE and SURROUND connectors are interchanged. I'm absolutly sure, it works fine under windows and the connector colors are also correct.

If I run speaker-test -c8 the SIDE Speakers sounds come out of my REAR (SURROUND) Speakers, while nothing is coming out of my rear speakers, if i'm using speaker-test -c6

So, the side channels (channel 7 & 8) and the rear channels (3 & 4) are swapped when running with 8 channel mode?

Maybe you haven't been following the thread. I've been trying to debug the problem. As I mentioned to Takashi, there's not a point where it broke, it never worked with this driver. There have always been clicks.

However, it does not have clicks with the following driver: XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz

Sending out condescending messages like this after I was responding to the "testers wanted" mailer which said all cards should be supported now is completely unproductive.

Thanks.

Basically the driver from creative, the old one, works without clicks:

XFiDrv_Linux_US-1.18.tar.gz

From April, 2008

and this one works without clicks.

XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz

lspci lists it as: 03:03.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB X-Fi

and in xp, it uses the same x-fi drivers as the others.

I have never been able to get any driver you released to work with it.

Can you tell me the first driver you had that you recommend I test it with?

Well, the current situation is that I've got no other report but you regarding the specific problem. There is a known issue with openal, accordingly, but not all apps. So, this is very likely a different issue.

Actually, it's still the phase to gather all information to know which part exactly is problematic. If you find any other guys that have the exact same problem, let me know. It would make easier to find out a problem pattern, either for finding out the culprit or reproducing the problem.

Or, you can do trial-and-error by comparing the driver above and the current one (maybe the first committed version is easier to compare). This can't be done without the real hardware, so it's actually up to you how to fix the issue...

http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html has 1.18

I think the difference is the 1.00 is newer, but just listed at a different location or something.

Sorry,

Meant to mention the OSS Drivers from 4front from a while back also worked without clicking.

Hm, did it really work even though your device is emu20k2? I thought their driver supported only emu20k1. Maybe added later.

Anyway, you can try the latest snapshot, which now includes the native timer support on emu20k2. It was only for emu20k1 until today.

Takashi,

The latest snapshot has the same clicking/snapping. Can you give me your POC for creative? I just cannot figure out why their driver works fine and the alsa ones do not. XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz

Well, the current situation is that I've got no other report but you
regarding the specific problem.  There is a known issue with openal,
accordingly, but not all apps.  So, this is very likely a different

Actually, it's still the phase to gather all information to know which

Fwiw, I reinstalled my kernel to get the old alsa modules back Linux home 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Tue Jun 16 23:11:39 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

and reinstalled this driver: XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00

and I am able to use my xfi again without clicks. Unfortunately, this driver seems to be no longer developed and has some other issues such as with skype and pulseaudio. I'd REALLY prefer to use your driver but I'm not quite sure what to do.

Maybe you haven't been following the thread. I've been trying to debug the problem. As I mentioned to Takashi, there's not a point where it broke, it never worked with this driver. There have always been clicks.

However, it does not have clicks with the following driver: XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz

Sending out condescending messages like this after I was responding to the "testers wanted" mailer which said all cards should be supported now is completely unproductive.

Well, the current situation is that I've got no other report but you regarding the specific problem. There is a known issue with openal, accordingly, but not all apps. So, this is very likely a different issue.

Actually, it's still the phase to gather all information to know which part exactly is problematic. If you find any other guys that have the exact same problem, let me know. It would make easier to find out a problem pattern, either for finding out the culprit or reproducing the problem.

Or, you can do trial-and-error by comparing the driver above and the current one (maybe the first committed version is easier to compare). This can't be done without the real hardware, so it's actually up to you how to fix the issue...

I should contact the creative guys about using your driver?

Then you should contact with Creative guys. They provided the driver after all. The addresses can be obtained in GIT changelog.

Ah ok, sorry.

I just know that, from what I can see, there are no plans for them to develop the driver anymore and was looking for something for the future, that's why I'm hoping to get my card working with your driver. Also, I get no sound at all with your driver when I tell it to do surround.

This isn't *my* driver at all. The driver code is originally given by Creative guys.

I play around with my X-Fi now, I'm wondering if there is a way to support this Headphones/4/5.1/7.1 up-/downmix modes from Windows. Stereo/Surround ...

And in what I'm much more interested is, Bass-Redirection ... because I use a Teufel - Concept E Magnum 5.1 speaker system. It's connected via analogue 5.1 cables. And by default, nothing is coming out of LFE if play usual stereo music. There is also an option in the windows drivers.

I found out, i could configure .asoundrc to do this, but is this the usual way?

Unless any information about the DSP programming on emu20kx is opened, there is no way to implement in the driver side.

Ok thanks.

So you still didn't have specifications from Creative? Because I red some time ago, creative gave the specs to the opensource community? How is it possible to write this drivers then? Only reengineering from their opensource drivers? Impressive!!

So I understand it right, everything is more or less software based right now? We must change this ... (I would help you out, so far I can)

That is correct. I have the datasheets from Creative and they are not complete data sheets. They do not include the DSP workings of the card. They simply explain how to configure the card to bypass the DSP unit. The datasheet does contain some info regarding how one might use hardware mixing as this uses a separate "mixing unit" within the chip. I do not think that this "mixing unit" has been implemented in the open source driver. The DSP itself is very complex and as a result, reverse engineering it will be difficult. It would be possible if one had the time but I don't have the time. I consider it a similar task to if one was needing to reverse engineer the x86 chip without having any of the instruction set.

Kind Regards
