Comment 325 for bug 1166529

It appears that the issue with your Creative Soundblaster Z soundcard is related to the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) not initializing correctly. Despite having the correct firmware and configuration enabled, the error message "ca0132 DOWNLOAD FAILED!!! DSP IS NOT RUNNING" suggests that the system is unable to load or start the DSP. To troubleshoot this, first, ensure that the firmware files (`ctefx.bin` and `ctspeq.bin`) are correctly placed and not corrupted. Additionally, check if the kernel version you're using (3.9-r3) might have compatibility issues with the soundcard, and consider testing with a stable or different kernel version. Verify your configuration settings in the `.config` file for any conflicts and ensure that your kernel modules are up-to-date and properly built. Consulting the documentation for your soundcard and kernel, as well as reaching out to relevant support forums, may also provide further assistance.
