I double checked my BIOS and it's at latest version. Based on what I've seen, I feel a bit hopeless trying to reach out to Creative Labs about this. Do you think that would be a worthwhile endeavor?

Doesn't contain your sound card.  Please give the full output after
plugging the card.  (Better to run "lspci -nvk")

Also give the full output of dmesg after plugging.
