The X-Fi series is not well supported. You may have better luck trying a daily build (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Jarno Suni (jarnos)]

Still an issue with the latest ubuntu? Maybe issue with Pulseaudio?
