I have problems with my Xtreme Audio, too.
System: ubuntu 9.10 (64bit) upgraded from 9.04 and in Live-environment(9.10)
The card is recognized, but when I press play in any application, the counter rests by 0:00 min and there is no sound.
As mentioned before, the problem exists also after booting the Live-CD.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

@m4lin Please file a separate bug using "ubuntu-bug alsa-base".

@Ghebu Please install linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and reboot.

[a005 (abaurin-gmail)]

I've just installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic and alsa 1.0.21 (from ppa:thefirstm/karmic-testing) but there's no sound yet.
Here is the alsa-info of my amd64 pc: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=685cbc15cbca3eb5571a416c89caede9197456ec

[Nicolas Picard (true255)]

Same thing here. I have a X-FI Xtreme audio PCI-E 1x and have no sound. But for a first time it been detected and loaded with a driver. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64bits.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

@Nicolas Try installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic
and rebooting.

[Peter van Toorn (p-van-toorn)]

I agree that this bug is a duplicate of #461078, which I submitted on the 26th of October.

I installed as suggested by Daniel Chen the linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic. Based on the behavior of the software and the error/messages obtained by the dmesg command, I did not see any improvement at al. (see also the dmesg.txt on bug #461078, and copied in this bug report as attachment). The full alsa-info of mY amd can be seen on site : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5f1f1566912483221831d078a8a4f0d37137a1ae

I installed also "alsa 1.021" obtained from alsa-project download site, and that had a large negative impact. I saw additional error messages around the codec of ca0110 chip at one side and an unknown fprintf !!!?? module, while the other hand the driver for my usb microphone (functioning very well), was not loaded. I removed the alsa 1.021 asap. Unfortunately I am not (yet) familiar with installing alpha versions of Ubuntu as ppa:thefirstm/karmic-testing.
Please let me know if that is worthwhile to try. What is the difference with the alsa-1.0.21 from alsa-development??

I am not active on the alsa-project development, but googling the site I find that apparently still problems re- occurring with the CA0110 chip. E,g. http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-October/022130.html. Based on those mails, I have the impression that the we have to wait till the development git (if the driver is fixed) of alsa is incorporated into Ubuntu

The same AMD computer is a triple boot machine with Gentoo. Similar problems are occurring with that linux version

[Rob Harvey (jackcorbae-gmail)]

Same problem - Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 - X-Fi card is detected, modules are loaded - no sound.

One other suggestion was to physically re-seat the card, which I haven't tried, but I wouldn't expect it to make any difference since dmesg and lsmod both show that Ubuntu can see the card - it just doesn't make any noise!

[Peter van Toorn (p-van-toorn)]

The suggestion made by Rob Harvey, a physical reset may not work. I have an AMD machine with a triple boot of Vista, gentoo and Ubuntu 9.10. Vista works fine regarding the card.
Both gentoo and Ubuntu do not work, although lsmod , lspci , lshal do see the card. in both linux versions

Looking at a mail thread of alsa-project, the problem is recognized and being worked on
see e.g http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-October/022326.html and subsequent mails

Everthing seems fine - no sound.
I tried all of the above.

Please confirm this bug.

[Peter van Toorn (p-van-toorn)]

No progress from me. I ask alsa-project team for input/comment. No response from them.
Anyone installed the latest of the latest of alsa-project??

[Ghebu (raul-neagoe)]

Same too me .Nothing works yet.

[Susan Cragin (susancragin)]

I have a similar bug filed somewhere. My Creative X-fi card works sometimes, but only sometimes if I snap it in and out of the computer while the computer is running. Then I can get one program working with it, usually. Then it stops working.
I have Ubuntu Studio Lucid with all updates as of 4 Dec.

[Susan Cragin (susancragin)]

I wish to modify my above comment, because it gives an incorrect impression.
The only application I get sound in is Dragon NaturallySpeaking run without pulseaudio and with alsa enabled. None of my other sound applications work at all, and it is very difficult to get NatSpeak to run, as outlined above. I have to snap the card in and out, and then adjust the sound settings in alsamixer, and then it "usually" runs.

[Spinalcracker (spinal-11)]

I am not able to test this currently as my Ubuntu box, mobo just died, but I believe it may be a solution if someone can test it out and report back.

~Open a Terminal

sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

sudo alsa unload

sudo remove alsa-modules-$(uname -r)

exit

sudo wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.22.tar.bz2

sudo tar xvf alsa-driver-1.0.22.tar.bz2

cd alsa-driver-1.0.22

sudo ./configure --with-isapnp=no --with-cards=ctxfi,ca0106,hda-intel --with-moddir=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/alsa

sudo make

sudo make install-modules

sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel

Run alsamixer to unmute channels and raise the volume levels.

Add your user account to the audio group via adduser.

* Key to note, because this is a rebranded chip, it's actually the snd-hda-intel module, not the ctxfi one you need. I think this may be causing some of the confusion

[Spinalcracker (spinal-11)]

Oops...

sudo remove alsa-modules-$(uname -r)

Should have been

sudo apt-get remove alsa-modules-$(uname -r)

[tk124 (t-koepf)]

nope, didn't work for me.
i think the question is: When will the driver be available ?

[Brad Figg (brad-figg)]

Hi Ghebu,

Please, if you are still having issues, test with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p alsa-base 463829

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

Please let us know your results.

When trying to test my Creative card, there is no sound at all. The Kubuntu's Multimedia - System Settings box freeze when testing that card. If I switch back preferences to my onboard card everything work fine.

[Peter van Toorn (p-van-toorn)]

Although I did not expected that the upgrade to Ubuntu lucid (10.04 beta) would resolve the problem with the ca0110-ibg chip (no recent activity in alsa development regarding this chip so far I know), I can confirm that I do not have any sound and that same problems with the hda-intel driver and the ca0110 codec is still occurring. No change with respect to ubuntu 9.10

I have found a fix but you guys may not like it I turned on my on board sound and then disabled it in WIndows 7 and disables the Creative labs in Ubuntu and now have sound Had to select the on board sound in sound preferences but it works great.

[Spinalcracker (spinal-11)]

@ Alan Barton

It appears to me you are just using the onboard sound and not your Creative SB X-Fi Extreme card. The purpose of this bug report is to try and gain working sound using the card. You have not posted a fix. You have described how to turn this card off when booted into Ubuntu. We need it to be on and functioning in Ubuntu.

I do appreciate you getting involved in the discussion though, I just think you misunderstood the nature of these posts. It's not to get working sound. It's to get working sound USING a SB X-Fi Extreme card.

[Fabian S (fabian-opencode)]

Anything new about this bug?
Same problem here with Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 fresh installation, 64Bits.

[Andrew Chalnick (andrew-chalnick)]

Not that I am aware of. I disabled my sound card and enabled sound on the
chip.

Could you explain that?

[1guess (ubuntu1-1guess)]

As far as I can tell nothing has changed.
Reading through the messages on the alsa-devel site it appears that this is an outstanding bug in ALSA code and the
regression occurred at time ALSA introduced the multi-codec check:
commit deadff1665491afce124a8ff83f00f784161f660
    ALSA: hda: track CIRB/CORB command/response states for each codec

It appears no-one is currently working on fixing this issue in ALSA code.

This is information i pulled from the message board. I have attempted to build a compilation of the messages (attached) to save you time (most recent response from Takashi is April 2010).

Thank you for for letting us know!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Expired for alsa-driver (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Aaron Thomas (athomas-work)]

If this works in 11.04, why hasn't it been updated in the LTS ubuntu? 10.04 is still LTS on desktop until 2013, yes?

[gavilan (hvalderrama)]
