Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio

albinoloverats · 2007-12-18 09:07:14

I can't get my sound card working, is about the short of it.

It's a Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio, which uses the ca0106 chipset (and driver), so it should work.

alsacont does detect the card and appears to set everything and alsamixer shows the volume levels, but no sound comes out of my speakers when I play anything

Any help would be appreciated.

That is not the correct module - see thread and ALSA wiki.

Swap your soundcard with a Windows user, for an Audigy 4 - that will actually work in Linux.

This is off-topic, but it's one of the funniest marketing niaiseries I've seen in my life:

Not exactly the answers I was looking for, but oh well :S

It's onboard sound for now I guess.

Im also going to use my onboard sound until the open source driver comes out but I don't want to pull it(xfi xtrememusic) out of the motherboard, will having it slow down boot times? note that im just about to install arch x64 for the first time.

thanks

This is what I know of regards to the X-Fi card...
Glad I didn't buy one.
