Below is the summary on the tested distributions.

So we got this: Kubuntu Karmic Alpha-2 32 Bit, 2.6.30 (works) Kubuntu Karmic Alpha-2 64 Bit, 2.6.30 (works) SuSE 11.1 64 Bit, 2.6.27 (does not work) SuSE 11.1 64 Bit, 2.6.27 XEN (does not work) SuSE 11.2 Milestone3 64Bit, 2.6.30 (test canceled, due to unrelated problems) => I'll see whether I can redo the SuSE11.2 tests, after doing a bugreport at openSuSE.
OK, that last issue was solved, and I now redid the test:
SuSE 11.2 Milestone6 64Bit, 2.6.31-rc6 (works)
I succesfully tested all analog (5.1) channels, using: speaker-test -D surround51 -c 6
I used ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa- driver-snapshot.tar.bz2 from 24.08.2009. I am just wondering, whether the new ALSA driver is it still planned for the 2.6.31 kernel?!?

2.6.31 already includes most of X-Fi patches. And the recent openSUSE 11.2 kernels include all X-Fi patches :)

I'm using Ubuntu + Kernel 2.6.31-9 + ALSA 1.0.21 from today.
For the X-Fi CA0110 card I have the codec stanzas are missing. I've built ALSA with --debug=verbose so if anyone has any idea what I can do to debug this problem, let me know.
Thanks. _______

As I mentioned in another thread, this is likely the communication error between the codec and the controller. But I have no idea what is exactly wrong about it. Until now there is no change regarding this, thus no fix yet.
You may poke around the codec communication part in hda_intel.c, e.g. adding some delay or so...

I'm new to working with drivers on Linux. If you can point me to where to look in logs to get started looking at debugging info, I'll take a look at the .c file and see if I can make heads or tails of it by inserting additional debug logic/messaging.
Thanks.
