Testers wanted: New SB X-Fi driver

Testers wanted: New SB X-Fi driver

[Duke Grable]

Hello!

I stumbled upon these X-Fi drivers recently and ended up giving them a try.
So far they work flawlessly, except for microphone input... I'm wondering if
this is either just unimplemented, or if it's just an issue of
configuration? My sound card is an "X-Fi XtremeGamer" and my distro is the
latest version of openSuSe (2.6.27.23-0.1-default
). Let me know if I'm missing anything!

Thanks,
Duke

Hi!
Try to unmute the "Line-In" Playback-device.

It seems like my problem was even stranger than that. For some reason the
only mute option for it under kmix or pulseaudio are through their taskbar
icons. If I remember correctly, I set my mic as master then unmuted it
through the one of icon's menu. That made it possible to hear my mic through
my speaker. Then a program called "gamix" solved my recording issues. Pretty
interesting. Loving these drivers either way though.

Thanks,
Duke

Do they happen at all sample rates?  Direct ALSA, or are you using pulseaudio?

Direct alsa, pulseaudio, every rate.  It does it during any usage of the
card

... if it's difficult, give the date it worked (at best, show HEAD and 
alsa-kernel/HEAD files included in the tarball) and it regressed.

It's never worked with your driver


only with this one:

 XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00.tar.gz

Am I missing something?  I got this new driver and did cvscompile then
make install, but it didn't install any xfi stuff.


# ctxfi
alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-card-0 snd-ctxfi
options snd-ctfxi index=0


what am I missing?  I don't have an ssound dir either.
